i think this is a genuine possibility in schools now, at least in my country. maybe not removing access to the internet entirely, but at least severely restricting it, and going back to analog teaching methods wherever possible.
we were very early on digitalizing education btw, giving every elementary school kid their own tablet, implementing digital tools in almost every subject, and in recent years, replacing physical books with digital copies.
and surprise surprise, it's been a fucking disaster. i can't even imagine what it'll be like as AI gets more widespread
I like them, but a) I tend to ruin them if I'm ever carting them around (especially if they're paperbacks) and b) I've noticed that when I have a book on my phone, it's much easier to dip into it and read a few paragraphs in the in between moments when I would otherwise open social media or something. With a physical book it's much less likely I'll dig it out of my bag if I'm waiting for the bus for five minutes and my hands are full.
How much of it has to do with the fact that adults are just as clueless about how to use computers as kids?
Is it really that hard to just have people use computers the same way they'd use books? Not everything needs to start with a Google search.
