Just because someone says something that is sorta obvious, does not mean they get a free pass.

Stay ignorant homie.

Seeing how many people believe you are wrong, I am going to post the reasons why you are right so hopefully the people in disagreement understand:

Recommendations state that children and adolescents should have screen time limited to 2 hours a day or less, with emphasis on “less”. If the average school day is 5-6 hours with an average of 2 hours of homework a night, and everything is done on screens, we are actively violating scientific health guidelines and damaging the students brains.

Reading books is better for the brain than reading the same information from a screen as there is less stimuli being processed while reading the book allowing the brain to have more focus on the processing of information.

Writing by hand is a proven way to retain and better understand information. Learning and practicing writing in both block and cursive improves these outcomes further. Typing, even on a typewriter, does not have the same benefits.

The fact that so many people do not understand these three very important things demonstrates a lot of ignorance and bias for technology. How many studies are needed before the “Regulations should be based in scientific study” crowd stop pushing against the recommendations of the scientific community?

How do you expect them do assignments like papers, by typewriter? No, I suppose that’s a device too, so hand-written only. Truly, this will equip them to be functioning adults!

So yes, making students write assignments out by hand using physical books for research will equip them to be more functional as adults.

Ignore religious people, they are only trying to control you.

Being Religious doesn’t negate ones opinion, and most groups are vying for control.

The fact of the matter is “AI is dangerous”. It is not a secret and we should be having conversations about those dangers, including ways to prevent negative outcomes, before going further with the technology regardless of who says it is important.

I don’t consider society in such ways because what we are seeing now is not a natural state of being. The global population is under educated, and that is by design. No one is taught how to think critically when it matters and then they are thrown into a world of non sense. Made worse by modern communication tools because people don’t know how to process information and communicate.

It is not about learning to handle new tech responsibly. If we focused on educating our population social media wouldn’t be so damaging.

AI already exists and is being used as a tool to further extract what is left by the people claiming it will be a good thing for the masses. It is not being made in a way to benefit everyone, and it is being built by people who want money and power. No average person will have a better life because AI is running more things, but a select few will be ever richer.

Exactly like what happened when mass production became a thing.

That is the thing that fear mongering against the Government always fails to address.

Yes, banning one thing out of ten that all do the same thing is wrong. Yes, we do not want to give the Government the ability to ban specific sites because history.

But banning or regulating algorithms, which are the actual problem, does not stop social media sites from existing. It just stops them from being able to manipulate massive groups of people by hiding/pushing the information the company wants one to see.

Unfortunately, the majority doesn’t see algorithmic social media as a bad thing because they really do like echo chambers, and politicians don’t ever seem to understand what a “root issue” is.
