I know a lot of teachers, who’ve been teaching for quite a while.
“Each class knows less than the one before, over more than a decade” and “yeah, obviously it’s the phones, they’re a constant problem” are what you’ll hear from all of them if you ask about this stuff.
- thaumasiotes 3y agoHell, my sister isn't able to watch TV without fiddling with her phone.
- tnecniv 3y agoI can’t either. That dates back to me being a kid before the dawn of the smartphone. It doesn’t need to be a phone — I’ll play guitar while watching TV or work on a hobby coding project. I just need something to do with my hands. I learned as an adult I have ADHD. I’m high functioning so I never got tested as a kid, but it’s 100% a condition I always had. It made a lot of aspects of my life since childhood make sense.
- tiberious726 3y agoEh, teachers said the same thing back when I was school, well before the smartphone
- tennisflyi 3y agoIt is not the phone. It’s the obfuscation/“automagical” of everything
- Izkata 3y agoI think you're thinking of a different thing, which is specifically in the context of that technology reaching a simple "it just works" state. People no longer need to fiddle with it, and from that, never learn how it works. First time I heard of it was 2013 [0], and have been experiencing it with some of our recent hires over the past few years.
