I've definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is "smart" nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn't require any of that before.

What's some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

what do you think is important enough to be a general school subject, if not computer literacy?

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

English. Math. Whatever your Primary Language is. Chemistry, Physics and all other subjects that are already in every school curriculum.
School is not there to feed you everything you need to know for every possible Job.
Technological literacy might be a Subject worth talking about. But that does not have Excel and Word in it.
How do i find Information. How do i fact check information.
Not "how do i use Access and Excel to create a Form for filling out my Taxreport"
That is elitist circlejerk shit that only people in tech jobs say.
"Hurr durr that highschooler doesn't know how a master slave drive configuration works, nobody is computer literate anymore"
