Is learning about Twitter and blogging more important than learning world history?

Most curriculum's include an ICT course, which is where these subjects belong.
Even ICT has a history.

Absolutely, if they are not taught the insignificant things in life ... where will the next generation of workshy, lard ar$e chaves come from?

The next thing you know is that they will be taught all the ins and outs of the benefits system, how to claim, how to screw the system and cheat their way through their miserable pointless lives .....

I feel better for that!

No, definitely not! "Those who forget history are doomed to relive it."

I agree. Technology is getting too WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY to entrenched in our society. There's nothing wrong with reading an actual book. Or unplugging and talking to actual people.

(Im not sure of the name, but they're working on devices of entire books. To each his/her own.) These devices are making people lazy.

Schools are full of people bringing these devices TO our schools and "dumbing down" our children. Peer Pressures are hard enough as it is.
