It is far worse than other nonsense. Can you think of one advantage of computer technology in the classroom? Tech company PR is really good, but edu tech is really just part of the corporate takeover of education that's happened over the last few decades.
Additionally, almost all technology will be superseded by AI in the future, which means that training young kids in technology is literally preparing them for unemployment. At best, kids trained in tech will be used as flesh-and-blood beta versions of future AIs. I would go as far to say that exposing kids unnecessarily to technology is a form of child abuse. A very rounded education is preferable to being unemployed and tech-literate, bitter at the AI that is doing the job that you trained for.
