"It has not paid off" Depends what the real objective was all along. If it were to control the flow of information, implement wide scale tracking, and further degrade the critical thinking skills of the working class, then I say it paid off handsomely.
Yeah, journalists can be very naive, taking the capitalists or the state at face value. Destroying critical thinking and literary skills was the goal. They've admitted over and over that schools exists to create the next generation of workers, not to create helathy thriving individuals that can go on to realize their dreams and do whatever they put their minds to.
Liberal: Your point, though accurate and poignant, is now mute since I see you misspelled "helathy." I have now converted to fascism because of your error. Do better next time!
lol got em

In all seriousness, I did forget the other piece of the laptops is to get children addicted to electronics and create a new generation of hyper consumer.
It’s okay, it’s all quite literally designed to fly under our radars. The “solution” of course is to be hyper vigilant but being hyper vigilant is exhausting. Exhaustion leads to lapsed vigilance. It’s an endless cycle.
I don't even think any of that was intended. It was just a massive handout to Apple, Google, and other tech companies and a diversion of resources from teaching/education to hardware and apps. Coincidently it also made us all dumber which was a nice bonus for the capitalists.
Plus allowing private interests in league with the government to steal the biometrics of every student.
