Back To Textbooks, Denmark Rolls Back Digital Learning 📚

France24, Jan. 6, 2025. *VIDEO Below.

Denmark has long been hailed as a digital champion, with online public services, digital IDs and tablets in schools as early as 2011. But authorities are now shifting course in the education and social sectors following alarming figures on children’s mental health and school performance.

Go Denmark! That is so cool. Tfp that Appalachiablue..

I was plagued by the thought of this worthless rubbish pile from Idiocracy that is most of the net oozing into the real world further as some form of trashy ubiquitous computing implemented with the same invasive, hyperlibertarian sensibility.

As a character from Dave Eggers’ “The Circle” (one of the rare cases where I have seen the movie but not read the book) says “they never ask for permission, but apologize instead”.
Except in reality, these creeps don’t apologize either.
It is why serious criminal liability for inflicting that shit sans any permission while ignoring overt protests and parasitically raping someone else’s home, street and psyche with that trash is the immediate urgent need of the hour as this junk accelerates to hell with less and less regulation that isn’t bs and straining and taking the common man or woman hostage or depleting our resources much as they do with earth.
