I completely blame schools adopting ChromeOS for this generational failure.

At least give them a functional OS god damn. People out here not knowing you can do more than access like 5 websites and apps with literally anything that has a microprocessor in it.

I can’t find the photo I took, which is annoying, but I was working in schools a couple of years back and in the IT room there was a huge display on the wall with the title “Amazing Things We Can Do With Computers” and the list was, literally, this:

  • YouTube
  • Facebook
  • TikTok
  • Amazon
  • Spotify
  • WhatsApp
  • FaceTime

FWIW, Chromebooks can be used as more than just web browser devices. The real problem is who is setting - and teaching - the curriculum. Some other schools had amazing curriculums but they usually had one, single, solitary, clued-up teacher.
