Calling smartphone equipped teenagers 'digital natives' is a mistake because a smartphone makes you a consumer rather than a native of anything.

If you want a child to become a digital native give them an actual computer instead of a corporate controlled and curated consumer device.

@freemo I remember that example from the following:

I wish this blog kept posting more like this!

@freemo >More specifically if you put your attention on the worst examples of a problem, and try to fix those first, you cant accurately judge if you fixed the problem at all.

This reminds me a bit of Survivorship Bias, though I doubt they're the same thing at all.

@freemo I wanted to have my QOTO account's timeline to be more science/tech to fit the instance. :blobsmilehappyeyes:

>timeline barren
>go to @freemo 's Following page
>go Follow a bunch of the sciency/scholarly/linuxy kind

Let's see if THIS makes it worth checking my timeline more than once every 2-3 days! :flower: :mario_awe: :amaze:
