    Good. We shouldn’t bake a corporate product into a national curriculum.

    I’m not in favor of chromebooks, but tablets make all the sense in the world.

      Ugh, what can you do on a tablet other than art or some flavor or business bureaucracy. The mouse and keyboard is the most efficient way to accurately convey information into a machine, and we intentionally failed to teach young people how to even type. I am sorry but if you type faster on your phone than you do a desktop / laptop you don’t know how to type.

        I am incredibly pro-desktop computer but it’s 2025 dude. Times have changed. Desktop/laptop computers are not the only way to work anymore. I’m not saying it’s going the way of cursive anytime soon, but I also think you’re maybe getting a little too worried considering when we were in school computer education was generally a fucking joke no matter where you went yet most of us turned out fine. If kids are going to need computers, they’re going to learn computers.
