Guess we should all stop using cell phones too, the erlang that powers them is old as dirt and therefore must be bad.

I have a pixel phone being shipped to me now, can’t wait to post one of these too.

I’m not an expert on this, but I have listened to people talk who are and claim that you can pretty clearly link cognitive decline with the introduction of technology effectively everywhere.

I’m sure it’s not as clear as “tech bad” but it does seem like screen time and deferring the manual parts of learning to computers is not great for us.

I get what you’re saying, but this isn’t a dig at Gen Z. For as long as we’ve been testing, which is like 50 years I think, the new generation has outperformed the previous one and that’s a good thing.

Having this generation underperform means that we have failed them and we need to figure out exactly how we fucked up. The evidence is really strong that technology in the classroom is a significant contributor.

Did you find one?

You can’t pull one over on these kids. They have tons of free time and none of the responsibility of adulthood, they’re gonna bypass whatever the fuck you put in front of them.

I was that kid that refused to be constrained and I’m so fucking proud of this generation for carrying on the legacy.
