I can't help being cynical after a lifetime of witnessing numerous examples of how some people choose to take advantage of others.
So, kids in some countries live in a more simplified fashion.
What's wrong with that?
Our ancestors didn't have a problem learning with slate, chalk and the abacus.
Who are we to drag people into the modern age of micro computing and internet access just to feed the greedy power companies and internet providers?

Modern life isn't all it's cracked up to be and it definitely doesn't live up to the hype.

I'd be more concerned with providing clean water and renewable energy for everyone.

Yeah yeah old good times ....

Wait a minute what are you doing in this forum....since it is not to expand your horizons ...for sure...then you must be just feeding the greedy companies then.
Everything is business it does not mean that some good can not be done , even if it brings some profit sometimes.

No one is forcing anyone to modern life yet to have choice one must be exposed all different things to chose what is good for him.

If you have kids for example wouldn't you like them to be exposed to as much as possible so that they could chose what might be good for them or what they like so that they may exercise the talents and abilities.

...or is just chalk and board....it probably would get you far nowadays.

Yeah, yeah let's drag them all into the modern age of Google and internet shopping. God knows that Ubisoft needs new suc... err customers.
Expand their horizons beyond those huge patches of bare dirt they trample on every day. Bare dirt does have an advantage. The Lions can't hide and wait in ambush.

My kids are grown and they made it through school without a PC or internet access. Good old Encyclopedia Brittanica was the reference of choice.
