The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets: The result is the first generation less cognitively capable than their parents

The U.S. invested over $30 billion in laptops and tablets for schools, but neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath claims this has resulted in Gen Z being less cognitively capable than their parents, as evidenced by lower standardized test scores and increased screen time. Horvath argues that unrestricted access to technology has weakened learning capabilities, emphasizing the need for better alignment of educational tools with effective learning methods.
