"The complex reality of the technologies that real companies leverage to
get ahead emphasizes the absurdity of the now common idea that exposure
to simplistic, consumer-facing products - especially in schools -
somehow prepares people to succeed in a high-tech economy. Giving
students iPads or allowing them to film homework assignments on YouTube
prepares them for a high-tech economy about as much as playing with Hot
Wheels would prepare them to thrive as auto mechanics."
