>One of the problems is, this is taught in the schools. Pretty much every class is using screens constantly. I hear people complaining about the lack of iPads due to low school funding. I'm thinking this might be a good thing. IMHO tablets are the worst case scenario, they're made for pure consumption. Keyboard input on screen is bad, productive software is limited - these are machines made for pure consumption of media. We all consume enough media nowadays. If you teach programming on proper laptops/desktops, or how to use spreadsheets, and writing text on computers, I get that this is useful knowledge. I just can't think of anything you need to teach with a tablet in school. And I think we should also not allow phones in school, it's just too damn entertaining. Adults barely are able to unglue themselves from their phones, we need to create a distraction free zone conducive for learning.
