Tech in the Classroom: A History of Hype and Hysteria

wired.com Elana Klein 2025-11-19 18:00:00

If you’re a parent, an educator, or just someone who’s been to school, you’ve probably developed an opinion about generative AI in classrooms. You might fear the demise of the five-paragraph essay, the ever-increasing ease of cheating, or, worse, the end of critical thinking altogether. But don’t worry: The anxiety surrounding large language models in schools is anything but unprecedented. In 1975, teachers fretted that handheld calculators would undermine students’ capacity to “handle basic sk

On Monday, Ford announced plans for an affordable electric truck with a 2027 delivery date and an expected price tag of about $30,000, thanks in part to a new manufacturing process that it says will help cut costs.

Farmers want California to change its autonomous tractor ban

In some states, autonomous farming equipment is put to work on farms, doing things like spreading fertilizer or getting rid of insects. But in California, these robots aren’t allowed to operate on their own. State safety regulators say operators have to be at the controls, with few exceptions.

Eliot in 1926. Photography by Henry Ware Eliot. “The Hollow Men,” as we have it now, was first published in T.S. Eliot’s Poems: 1909-1925. It is the final poem in the collection, appearing directly after The Waste Land. To say it was first published in 1925 is a little misleading. The third section (of the five) appeared in the 1924 miscellany The Chapbook. It was part of a grouping of three lyrics under the title “Doris’s Dream Songs.” (Most of the contributors to The Chapbook are forgotten.

Which colors are primary?

Artists traditionally refer to red, yellow, and blue as primary colors. These three colors were once believed to be the essential set for mixing a broad palette in painting. Following this line of thinking, violet, green and orange become secondary colors because they’re mixed from the primaries. However, for more than a century, both scientific understanding and practical experience has shown that cyan, magenta, and yellow are more efficient for subtractive mixing with pigments, producing clea
