I mean for research I’d prefer to use either a university or reference library. But even an underfunded library with banned books is a better resource than a largely unmonitored black box that confidently lies to you. At least when you look for a resource and it’s not there you’re certain in the lack of information.
i think this is a genuine possibility in schools now, at least in my country. maybe not removing access to the internet entirely, but at least severely restricting it, and going back to analog teaching methods wherever possible.
we were very early on digitalizing education btw, giving every elementary school kid their own tablet, implementing digital tools in almost every subject, and in recent years, replacing physical books with digital copies.
and surprise surprise, it’s been a fucking disaster. i can’t even imagine what it’ll be like as AI gets more widespread
Nonzero chance we’ll all have to go back to using physical libraries for research in a few years, so I guess that’s a silver lining.
You mean the ones being constantly defunded and having their reading materials banned?

If you know that information is missing, yes.
Glad I’ve been hoarding books

How much of it has to do with the fact that adults are just as clueless about how to use computers as kids?
Is it really that hard to just have people use computers the same way they’d use books? Not everything needs to start with a Google search.
