There's no lack of equity in the tools that any of the teachers, students, or indeed, any of us have.
Teachers don't have a mainframe and students dumb terminals.
No, instead we have CaptainDork's Corollary: "For every motherfucker out there with a computer, there's another motherfucker out there with a computer."
In an essentially P2P architecture, it's a level playing field.
The students are just a lot more imaginative, creative, and innovative, and connected than the teachers.
Because the student population is larger than the teacher headcount, simple math predicts that the students are more capable.
In the US, when DST rolled out from 2-3 am Sunday morning, a hell of a lot of Fitbit devices went motherfucking squirrely because the athletic watches (across all models) missed the midnight reset event Sunday night. Ramifications included bricked devices, steps from Sunday weren't reset to zero and became additive, scheduled hourly steps from Sunday were added to Monday without a break...
Using that example, here's my additional concern:
In the Fitbit community, suggestions abounded and one was to "hard boot your phone or tablet."
I answered a LOT of questions like, "How do I reboot my phone (or tablet)?" Seriously?
I asked each, "What smart device do you have?"
There were answers like, "Samsung xxx, iPhone xxx, iPad xxx, Android, xxx..."
For each, I simply opened a new tab in Firefox and searched for, example, "reboot iPhone 8."
I went back and provided answers and people started looking me up as "the guy who knows how to reboot any kind of smart device (Including various Fitbits)."
WHAT THE SIMPLE FUCK?
Those people were born in an Internet world and have no goddam clue as to how to use it.
These are the same people who get their news from Facebook.
Goddam.
They don't know that legitimate news is one tab over.
Perhaps the "we," to whom you refer are not scientists?
TFS and TFA was not scripted by the unwashed masses. Scientists (and "we,") would sure like to have a goddam Internet that wasn't polluted with special interest bullshit and that is data-porous to the casual intruder.
I very much dislike the vacuous "snowflake," disposable, meaningless insult.
It doesn't become you.
So quit using that term, you yellow bellied blue balled motherfucking whore-mongering bitch turd bastard.
Thanks for your understanding.
You don't keep up with Brexit. Just as there are lists (easily located) of every lie Donald Trump has told, there are lists of every lie the Brexiteers told.
There are lists of promises made by the Leavers that those same influencers now admit are not going to be kept.
"Legitimate," reasons included anti-immigration, trade deals without EU law, Lowered payments by UK to EU for membership fees (go look at that bust), and increased jobs for UK citizens (go look at tariffs and passports, visas, checkpoints, etc.).
If today's vote doesn't go well, Scotland may very well leave the UK for the EU.
Look at FBP. It overrides the default view order and can hide all or part of the left and right panes. I used it before I deleted.
Fun Fact: Facebook does not allow for posting that link in your timeline.
Bonus: If you log in using Chrome, there's an extension that deletes shit by month, going back as far as you like. I used Social Book Post Manager. It took a while, but it works.

... get over it or get used to it.
I don't know why in simple hell my Dish® isn't doing this already.
... autism because vaccination.
That's what I use when I'm chasing rabbits in regedit.
I agree and would like to add this:

I keep up with Brexit as well.
It passed by 51%, and like Donald Trump's voters, most Leavers were trying to make a point not actually expecting it to go that way.
Unfortunately, in both cases, there's no do over.
Or is there? We'll see.
Yeah, but they don't enjoy the freedom from collusion and interference.
You're picking one jewel. The other he offered is the goddam constant breaches.
Wrongthink.
The guy says the Internet is contaminated. You know it is. It's not just propaganda. That's just ONE of the pollutants.
Data grabbing and advertising are in there as well.
The guy has street cred, OK?
You, on the other hand ...
Who here wishes the fuck we had a goddam act of Congress to establish best practices during our IT careers?
THEN we could have said, "Security -- it's not just a good idea, it's the law!"
... and, generally they just suck.
Here's the best one:
Tell me how I can make a robo caller so I can join in reindeer games and call those motherfuckers, too.
Thanks.

Why is this modded down?
I haven't had mod points in months.
I would have modded it +1 Informative.
Wait ...
I guess I just answered my question.
... as a "shadow," Internet.
We need a do-over. The current Internet sucks tater toes.
TFS and TFA do not present this as the best argument for overturning the referendum. It's presented as a consequence and a notice.
Also, this is one in a long list of consequences of Leave.
You are being deliberately deceptive and divisive.
Please Leave.
... proud that their country hosts hackers that are the envy of the world. There are major roles in movies that glamorize the nerdy hacker.
The USA, meanwhile, represents the gullible victim.
Another cute trick is to disable the goddam network card.
I did that a lot and the custodians were never aware.
It created a lot of problems and a few techs tightened things up and accidentally protected the card, but most never learned.
... didn't know they had been hacked and, when informed that they were breached, didn't know what the hackers got.
Clueless.
Fortunately, like White Supremacists, Neo-Nazis, and other hate groups, you are ineffectively intolerant and misguided.
... certain matters at her trial.
There are other matters that the feds thought were unnecessary to pursue because they already had enough to put her away.
Even the Obama decision did not upset prosecutors. However, the US is gearing up for an Assange trial once Ecuador releases Assange to London.
For that reason, additional actions by Manning, declared moot at the time, are now important to the Assange trial.
Those same facts would also incriminate Manning and expose her to possible further litigation. I predict an immunity deal for her.
I miss the attention I used to get because of an apparent correlation between CaptainDork & creimer.
I think that's why I no longer get mod points.
That, and because my feet stink and I don't love Jesus.
I deleted Facebook Feb 7 this year. I'm 73 and a retired IT guy.
I was never cool.
Until now. I got 17 cool points.
