That's only a valid answer if there is an alternative comparable device to use. Many many people no longer have a choice to avoid these devices altogether, whether it be for a work requirement, etc.
I think a better question is, why are they allowing an outside organization to influence the school curriculum at all? The organization and their purpose should be irrelevant to the discussion here. If the schools are deciding to do this because it is good for students then they should be doing all things that may be good for students regardless of external influences. So if learning to code is good, then so are the other things.
Except that tablets can get broken or lost, and something that is built in is made for the purpose and just works better. It can be controlled from the front which is better for parents. I'm not sure why DVDs are laughable since they still do the job.
Ok well if the whole EV thing is enabling 'certain' automakers to be exclusive to their own cars then that turns me off right there. That's a common trick of technology companies (*cough* Apple *cough*) to tie you into your own proprietary brand. Hint: I'm not a big Apple fan.
Uh, 20 DVDs easily fit into a minivan so I'm not. Sure it's not a 'need', never said it was. I'm just a consumer in a capitalist system trying to make his family's life as happy and stress free at it can be.
You're just another person coming here claiming things will be a certain way yet totally oblivious to how it will come about and unable to link A to B. Waste of time.
Ok so I'm about to go buy a new cellphone which is a requirement for my work. Please illuminate me as to what I can do so as to not be a hypocrite. I was going to go for a Galaxy Note. What is the domestically made version of the Note that I can purchase so that I can talk with my wallet? I really want to know because you seem to have the answers!
Let me add, I'm not really saying things will be different this time. I'm saying this is all part of a continuing trend; the same automation trend that you are talking about. Except now automation is not just for factories, it is for everything. It is a known fact that salaries have been stagnant since the 70's despite a 12x increase in productivity. Executives now make, what, 800x more than the common worker as opposed to 20x more in recent memory. Everything is changing and the end game has always been to lower costs as much as possible. Except when automation was expensive or not available, people were seen as necessary cost and now they are expendable. Really this is all obvious, not even sure why I'm taking the time to explain it.
Because I choose not to accept anything on blind faith. The world is different, the economy is different, corporations are larger and more powerful and people are now seen as an expense not an investment, we have globalization. I have every reason to think this time will be different. How could you not think this time will be different?
It's like $5 a month for hosting.. between the group it's not a problem. When they post pictures they usually have a web space through their provider so they just use that and link to it.
Actually Calgary to Vancouver was the trip I had in mind. You don't expect you will ever have a problem accessing electric stations? How much do they cost?
it's not just storage space, it's passenger space as well. being able to have a cooler inside the passenger area and accessible, stuff like that. If we wanted a car we would have bought a car in the first place. Tablets are a good idea, but then you need some storage space for the movies. I know my kids have the 80Gb on their tablets pretty much filled already. So then you're looking at powering a small system with a disk drive to act as a file server for the movie library.

So where is:
"Hour of plumbing"
"Hour of auto mechanics"
"Hour of home renovation"
"Hour of electrical"
Each of these is probably more valuable to the child on average.
Upon exiting the room, Google has a sign that reads "Now you know how Apple users feel".
Isn't that pretty much what the darknet is?
So you're saying most EVs come with a USB storage drive? Sorry, not sure what the point was to that comment.

Not sure if I would ever buy a Tesla. What do people with Nissan Leafs use? I've heard a lot of good things about them.

True, Americans are also trained to not question their corporate overlords. What a funny mentality, isn't it.

Check your sources.
Well, since you don't control me, I'm afraid I will.
Since you apparently don't have the answer either, you are the hypocrite. Thought so.

You're saying people should live in a cave because corporations don't choose to make things locally?

I suspect that robot is called 'the cloud'.
Since there are no non-hellhole made devices to purchase, that is a pretty unfair comment.

If your job could be done by a robot, it's time to start thinking about a new job.
You realize that is about 90% of America, right?
I imagine it is always easier to run a company in a country that cares nothing for its citizens, its environment or the world at large.
