Yeah, there needs to be a balance with tech and education. The internet and smartphones are a part of everyday life now, as ingrained as electricity, running water, and literacy itself.

Trying to ignore technologies because education systems can’t or won’t figure out to integrate them doesn’t seem a great idea.
