#Technology Exposure

[scienceakademeia]

Integrating STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) into the early years is essential for fostering foundational skills in critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. Early childhood education in Alpharetta, Georgia, has embraced this approach, offering young learners opportunities to explore STEM concepts through hands-on activities and play.

I'm not sure if it's a me thing or a general thing to expect when dating in the 30s, but I'm finding a common theme of going out with women who are single mothers, and/or work as teachers. And our subjects of discussion always goes back round to concern with the future workforce, and the impacts of social media on the attitudes of younger people, like damn boomers.

90s Power Macintosh OSs were more like the modern Windows PC experience than you'd assume if you never used one or if your first Macintosh was the colorful zany iMac G3 acquired by many schools in the early 2000s. Sure, in the 90s if you had Microsoft, you were very likely still using MS-DOS, or Windows-through-DOS (until Windows 95) and therefore getting a bit more technical experience mileage. But a lot of people grew up using DOS like it was nbd to boot their games through the command prompt, only to grow up not particularly computer-savvy. Apple is not alone in pushing for non-specialization experiences; Microsoft also has had aspirations of becoming Extremely GUI (remember their weird and frustrating all-tile concept of the 2010s?) as part of its business strategy and regularly tries to make the "Home" (as opposed to "Pro") OS setup more difficult to use for technical purposes.

I cannot attest to the modern Mac experience but must mention that many CS/IT professionals/academics LOVE Macs. If a person loves LaTeX and/or Linux, I suspect they're at least Mac-curious. It was a whole fad with computer nerds in the 2010s to cobble together a Windows/Linux PC that looked and functioned as close to a Mac as possible if they couldn't afford a real Apple machine.

My opposing hypothesis is that declining tech literacy is mostly a consequence of the proliferation of Extremely GUI "don't even fucking worry about it" tech, and that's more a problem of using phone-as-computer or tablet-as-computer and wanting all computers to therefore function as a phone/tablet, rather than which laptop/desktop OS you go to bat for or which one you grew up with because the truth is all available laptop/desktop options require more tech literacy just to get started on than making do with a phone/tablet.

Also I know it's a joke, but the idea that someone more tech literate than you must be autistic... is a good way to notice you're perhaps not as tech literate as you think lmfao. Basic human curiosity, competence, and urge to tinker/play does not require a diagnosis! The problem with Extremely GUI solutions is not that they're Evil™ but precisely that they take these behaviors away as an option!

📱 Online Safety Alert: 1 in 4 Kids Aged 5–7 Own Smartphones

According to a recent Ofcom report, almost a quarter of children aged 5 to 7 in the UK now own a smartphone. Let that sink in — kids barely out of preschool are stepping into the digital world, unsupervised in many cases.

The footage from John Wallis Academy in Kent shows what’s becoming an everyday scene: groups of very young children clustered around their screens, even during break time. And while this might seem like “just the times we live in,” it raises serious questions about online safety, digital literacy, and the kind of content these children may be exposed to.

With smartphones come access to the internet, social media, YouTube, and messaging apps — environments not built with a 6-year-old in mind.

🌐 It’s time we rethink our approach to digital parenting. 🧒 Should a 6-year-old really need a smartphone? 🔒 Are we giving them tools without teaching them the rules?

If you're a parent, teacher, or just someone concerned with the next generation's mental and digital well-being, this is your reminder: supervision and education are more critical than ever.

Impact of Trade Wars on Sustainable Energy Projects

How did ancient Chinese tombs set up mechanisms to deter tomb robbers? (This is just a basic demonstration - in reality, it was far more complex. The mausoleums of Qin Shi Huang (259-210 BCE) and Empress Wu Zetian (624-705 CE) remain unexcavated to this day because current technology cannot safely handle them.) Cnetizen say "No excavation needed - mercury level testing suffices. The Records of the Grand Historian documents that the First Emperor's underground palace used mercury to simulate rivers and seas. Being highly volatile, the mercury would have largely dissipated over time - not just since Xiang Yu's era 2,200 years ago, but even if Huang Chao's rebels had breached it 1,000 years later. Yet modern instruments detect severely elevated mercury levels at the site!" This confirms the mausoleum has never been substantially breached. While we cannot rule out that a few tomb raiders ('touching gold captains') may have entered, none could have survived - the instant mercury vapor exposure would have been fatal." Qin Shi Huang is revered as the 'Ancestral Dragon' in China, so people never joke about him - it’s believed to bring bad luck (a superstition tied to disrespecting the 'Dragon Emperor'). This might also explain why no one has dared to open his mausoleum to this day.
