In California's Silicon Valley, where the billion-dollar tech industry and many of the big players such as
Apple, Google, Amazon, Facebook and others are based,
the next generation is deliberately sent to schools where blackboard, pen and paper are used instead of tablet and ChatGPT.
"The idea that an app on an iPad can teach my children better reading or arithmetic is ridiculous,"
says Alan Eagle, ex-communications manager at Google.
Apple founder Steve Jobs once admitted that his children were not allowed to use the iPad that was released at the time.
Bill Gates' children were also not allowed to own cell phones until the age of 14 and after that their use was
regulated, the Microsoft founder mentioned in an interview.
Interestingly, both Microsoft and Apple are active in the education sector.
Both want to help children in schools prepare for a future in a digitalized world.
The tech elite are deliberately keeping their own children away from digital media and mobile technology, but are
subjecting state schools to more and more digital technology.
because they know very well that this excessive media consumption is not only harmful to their
health, but also to their family life and school success!
