Kids should be taught computers at school, that shouldn’t even be a question. Zoomers are increasingly becoming tech illiterate because of smartphones and general lowest common denominator design. But chrome OS is literally built like a big android device so that doesn’t help much in that regard.https://youtube.com/watch?v=5kpHaYze8kI
I started watching this LTT video. I don't watch them often. It's an average video from them as far as I can tell.
But the subject of this made me think about some things I haven't put much thought into. Like how disgusting it is that schools would require students have buy Chromebooks specifically.
The implication of the school requiring the use of laptops at all. For whatever reason it doesn't sit right to me when I think about it. That our society is having kids learn that this is the way you get your information, and that these are the sources of authority. But I don't exactly have a good way of explaining it.
The more I look at that the more I don't like it though.
Also giving kids laptops that they can use will just lead to the back of the class enjoying a nice LAN party of Roblox and Minecraft alongside the usual feast.
But it shouldn’t come to the point where a random student should teach an entire year of medicine students on how to use thunderbird because the university email doesn’t have a web client and that was just one of many shenanigans.
