I wrote a longer comment that I failed to properly save (more evidence for the necessity of increased education on technology). I think you correctly identify that education on responsible use is a modern need that is yet to be addressed. But the need for education on technology must go further. We ought to be teaching children about programming, typing, research, photo/music/video editing/creation. Technology can be a tool of immense creativity and children who learn these skills young will think with the mindset needed to create with them effectively.

Additionally, the current regime only works to further widen the achievement gap between the classes. Technology is more accessible for children in middle and upper middle class homes. But those without access do not learn these skills in school and fall behind. I tutor at a middle school in Harlem. It's a charter school and they have some resources. I was working with a 7th grader on a report he needed to type up on the schools laptop computer. He struggled mightily with even the most basic tasks - typing, using the shift key, saving a word document, using email. Now, I cannot say what economic class this particular student comes from, but what is clear is that he was not acquiring skills on using technology at home. I asked him if he ever was taught in school how to type - once, in 3rd grade - and never again. What kind of modern education system allows for that? Do we take use of technology for granted?
