Jankatarch@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoYes I really liked the “microsoft excel and spreadsheets” class everyone had to take for 1-2 whole years. That one tool designed for you to learn basics within weeks.
I mean imagine how many negative side effects on education there would be if we just spent one or two weeks learning KStars or Geogebra or Kalzium.
Don’t worry tho cause with microsoft backing openai I am sure every student will be given a set of chatgpt premium accounts to “help” them in their learning.
You lose some you lose some.

Schools could have used that time they were “teaching” the Office suite to give an introduction to unix, programming, and the basics of how the internet functions. I had to read and analyze Beowulf, Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Homer and memorize the names and formulas of 33 polyatomic ions. Computing education to the same depth should have been and should be required as it was required for the other subjects.

Knowledge is power.
We understand a very small subset of what we use every day, and that can only be catastrophic.
