By not letting them dictate the terms. As a human being one does have a choice. One can USE technology or one is USED by technology.

For instance, you knew perfectly well what I meant when I said 'technology is ubiquitous' just from context. I didn't have to say 'computers' otherwise that wonderful search engine you cited wouldn't have had the vaguest notion of what you were looking for other than the word technology and it's etymology.
We are not talking about electricity or internal combustion engines, steam engines or Stirling engines. Nor are we talking about the steps taken between a sling shot and a stinger missile.
Education is the actualization of the human being. Education should NOT make the human the slave to any man or machine or institution. Which of those two choices should school play?

We can get that kind of jive bs from any young blood on the street.....or any Wall street gangster sipping his three martini lunch.
Try stringing some those 0's and 1's together to actually say something.
