      I just got a PR pitch—Physical education is cut from schools so put an Alexa in the classroom to "instruct" kids to move around. Yeah, sure, let's put a commercial surveillance device to classrooms while gutting funding... for poor kids. Betcha not gonna happen in rich schools.😡https://twitter.com/DEY_Project/status/1057019768283250690 …

      In Silicon Valley childcare contracts require nannies to hide phones, tablets, & computers from their charges. While in less privileged areas kids are offered online "preschool" - the junk food equivalent of quality education. https://nyti.ms/2AtheQ0

      Here's the PR picture of kids who don't have PE funding and are being "instructed" by Alexa. At least that's realistic. We are going to see screens, chatbots etc. in classes for poorer and browner kids. The privileged are banning those around children or have very different uses.pic.twitter.com/6cChtouf1f

      Tech should function like aviation safety: first class may have some extras but the whole plane goes up and down together. Result: flying is the safest way of travel. Put those devices in rich schools and see how far you get. If it's not okay for them, not okay for anyone else.

      This is often exactly how it happens unless there is an explicit political fight to do things otherwise.https://twitter.com/EvanMPeck/status/1057274265207234561 …

      This trend is immensely depressing. Well-meaning people are creating apps believing they are increasing the accessibility of X. Instead, that accessibility is being used as a fragile crutch to justify allocating resources AWAY from X. Unseen consequences of tech. https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1057264399856123905 …

          Replying to @zeynep

          Do you see any strong grassroot movements to protect society while we are seeing rise of autocrat presidents across the globe? Tech is being used not to enhance but control and major political parties only offer more survalience with different wordings. I am pessimistic ;(
