    iPad / tablet, and applying for jobs can easily be done on a phone. My wife works at a high school - half the kids can’t even use a mouse properly,and don’t understand minimizing a window etc.

    She had to teach someone what the enter button did yesterday… They were using space bar to get to a new line. I shit you not.


  • The main issue to solve is kids not having access to a computer at home, whether it be lack of incentive or money. Most people don’t even own a laptop anymore, so the only computer time they get is in a school setting.

    Once the majority of schools have a system in place for most homework to be done on a PC, then there may be some creative ways to incentivise more PC adoption… again. It’s like we’ve gone back to the early 90s again where only kids who were really interested in computing knew anything about it.
