A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Just a question: Are the tech managers in Silicon Valley also idiots? I posted the article already, but here's it again as the thread has become long: https://www.theguardian.com/teacher-network/2015/dec/02/schools-that-ban-tablets-traditional-education-silicon-valley-london
This is from your article and I could have saved them the money of doing this research. Also this is tablets not phones. They are allowed phones. You know why? because even they understand not everyone can see their house from the classroom window and need to use the phone to communicate.
Limiting the use during class is all I am in for. Banning it from school is just idiotic.
Also yes. I do think tech managers in Silicon valley are idiots. The biggest proof of that is we are talki g on lemmy and not reddit.
