Billions of dollars have been spent distributing laptops to American students, but educational outcomes have turned out to be disappointing.
According to the American magazine Fortune, Generation Z has become the first generation whose academic and cognitive abilities are observed to be lower than those of their parents.
Excessive use of technology and unnecessary dependence on it have weakened learning abilities instead of enhancing them.
The program to distribute laptops to students began in 2002 in the state of Maine and then spread across the entire United States.
In 2024 alone, more than 30 billion dollars were spent on providing digital devices to students.
