I completely agree. I think people mean more like in the scope of basic tasks kids aren’t meant to be doing on computers in school. That’s been basically wrangled into Google and Amazon at this point with a handful outlying things. If you’re doing anything else though, the scope definitely broadens, and you can make it broaden more if you try to eliminate the bigger guys.

It’s this and it’s not. Chromebooks don’t give kids anywhere to explore outside of chrome and handheld devices provide a controlled environment. A lot of kids (and adults!) are operating with a tablet in place of a computer because the most intensive thing they need to do if they’re not gaming is word processing. It’s big tech overall and the internet shrinking down into like 3 companies.
