    I take it schools aren’t teaching tech literacy. We wouldn’t want the kids to get in the way of our overlord marketing agencies.

      I wonder if they ever really have? When I was in school they taught you how to use a computer, but not what the computer was doing or how it worked.

      I’m not too connected to the educational sector anymore but anecdotally it seems like becoming tech literate has a growing stigma (it’s always had a stigma). Happily ignoring what it’s doing while it’s actively abusing you.
