I kind of like it. That sort of talk is helpful because it forces the opposition to defend their position even though their position is a popularly held one and that occasionally leads to actually show that popular opinion to be a farce after all. Plus he usually comes up with some sort of random reason behind his nay-saying.
Basically Dvorak is the ultimate cure-all for tech confirmation bias for me.
That's good to hear they are begining to teach this stuff. If school is all about testing your memory they might as well test it with stuff that may possibly be of use in the future.
In kindergarten or preschool they should probably teach keyboard, mouse, monitor or screen, and computer.
In high school there should be a test on modem, hard drive, ram, usb, cpu, gpu or video card,and motherboard. It shouldn't be to hard. Hard Drive stores space long term, ram short term, cpu does calculation and "thinking", gpu draws the words and pictures, motherboard connects them all. It never seemed that hard to me, and at worst it would be no harder then a vocabulary test in English class.
Honestly the same should somehow be done for cars, though I don't know how that could fit into the curriculum outside of drivers ed.
Of course its been a while since I've been to school, they may already be doing it.

I remember having to do cheek swabs, which I guess is part of your digestive tract. Does that work with Crohn disease tests?
