Re: The kids are getting dumber....


Much better to keep technology away from these kids at any cost! Let
them learn with pieces of chalk and slate as our parents did! Embrace
not the technical revolution that is only accelerating my luddite
friend. Could you not find a wider brush for your broad strokes?

You might read the last line of said article and realise that books
aren't about to get thrown in the dumpster. This technology is not
going away and I applaud the initiative displayed in this attempt to
harness it. Sure it may not be a perfect idea, but by trying it,
refining it, ultimately maybe even rejecting it and then trying another
tack, progress might well be made. What a concept. But I'm sure
there's a lot to be said for sticking ones head in the sand. Ostriches
do it, and they're progressing right? Oh, wait...
