Eric Ireland (erici@social.sdf.org)'s status on Thursday, 21-Nov-2024 09:22:53 JST Eric Ireland @phocks I guess a lot will but some won't. I've blocked it all. Yes, it could be unblocked, but at least they'll have to learn what DNS is to do that!

Eric Ireland (erici@social.sdf.org)'s status on Tuesday, 19-Nov-2024 17:33:52 JST Eric Ireland Went to a school tour today. They said all the kids have to use a laptop in class and if they don't have their own they'll be given one. Which is all good but apparently they have to use Google for everything. I've been trying to inculcate the value of free software, so blocked Google domains, but all that must come to an end in high school, alas.

Eric Ireland (erici@social.sdf.org)'s status on Sunday, 17-Nov-2024 04:39:23 JST Eric Ireland @justanotheramy @camwilson I get that you think his blog is worthless and just a marketing exercise for his books, but I disagree with you. I think he makes excellent arguments backed up by research, e.g. in this blog post https://www.afterbabel.com/p/phone-based-childhood-cause-epidemic
I think all parents should take heed! That said, I know some kids get a lot out of social media, e.g. that boy who started his own news service on Twitter who was interviewed on Radio National Breakfast, but he's an outlier.

It is reduced but still more than it was a couple of years ago. Interaction for me comes with using hashtags mostly
