Computers Make You Stupid

In today’s edition of "computers make you stupid" we have a study conducted by a man that thinks information and communication technology should be a "core skill" and good computer skills are vital in today’s world. On the other side we have people claiming computers will make you teh s+00p1dz.

Critics said classes should focus on literacy and writing skills and teach dedicated subjects rather than "airy-fairy" combined lessons. Nick Seaton, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education which lobbies for higher standards, said: "When children’s basic standards of reading, writing and arithmetic are so low, it seems ridiculous for them to be spending more time on computers."

In other news, computer use also makes you "airy-fairy."
