A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

You are correct. My kids are older now and productive citizens. As a gamer myself, they always had access to the latest gaming consoles and all of my older equipment. I never had a problem with them playing as that would have been very hypocritical of me. I think my feelings about kids and tablets are the ages of these kids I see. Very young to be handed a tablet, but I guess you could argue that they won't be behind when they are forced to use tech like in class. Which is very different than when I grew up. I got an F on a paper once because I did it on a computer. Printed it on a dot matrix and the teacher accused me of cheating because I used a computer. Pissed my Dad off so much he went and bought an Atari 1027 printer which was a letter quality printer so the teacher couldn't tell that it wasn't done on a typewriter. Much different times than now where kids are required to use computers. I will be long gone by then, but it would be wild to get to look at society 50 years from now and see how things have changed.
