They don't embrace new technology early for business reasons. They let those small startups burn through development cash, let them do the innovating while "fighting" the new technology. The fighting serves to motivate the innovators. Then once the startups have innovated enough to where it's actually profitable technology, that's when they buy out.
They're not fighting new technology, they're motivating it.
I totally agree with the "net being cast too wide" argument when it comes to violence, weapons, etc in schools. However, more attentive staff and counseling only goes so far. The real turning point in this problem is more attentive parenting.
