      I work in education. The chromebooks at my school replaced the convential computer lab where kids would learn how to actually use the computer.

        I graduated highschool in 2014. Very interesting that you think schools taught students how to use a computer beyond opening a browser, Microsoft word, and typing.

          Wtf was up with microsoft word class? It’s designed for you to learn within 3 weeks. They had children spend 3 hours a week for about a whole year using word.

          Like damn, show the other software too. I knew so many science nerds that would appreciate a week of KStars lessons.

      Exactly, otherwise this problem would be almost exclusive to places that had this Chromebook program. Brazil as a whole had no such program, yet lots of people have no fucking clue what to do on phones besides “install app, run app”

      Yeah a decade ago is not where this problem started. Nothing points to these Chromebooks. Smart phones are a good choice but also just the homogenization of the internet from like 2005-2012 as kids stopped having to figure out how to navigate the internet and install programs, instead staying on two to three websites and everything being installed as an app.
