Su suggerimento di piano regolatore

Negli ultimi anni la preoccupazione maggiore è stata quella di portare il digitale in tutte le scuole, in primo luogo quelle disagiate. Ora che ci è arrivato, però, si intravede una situazione nuova ed inaspettata, racconta il NYT: le famiglie ricche ricercano l’interazione umana, mentre il digitale si trasforma nell’opzione economica dei poveri.

It wasn’t long ago that the worry was that rich students would have access to the internet earlier, gaining tech skills and creating a digital divide. Schools ask students to do homework online, while only about two-thirds of people in the U.S. have broadband internet service. But now, as Silicon Valley’s parents increasingly panic over the impact screens have on their children and move toward screen-free lifestyles, worries over a new digital divide are rising. It could happen that the children of poorer and middle-class parents will be raised by screens, while the children of Silicon Valley’s elite will be going back to wooden toys and the luxury of human interaction.
