Why Tech in Schools is a Catastrophe

Why Technology in Schools Is A Catastrophe....

In her speech at ARC 2026, actress and campaigner Sophie Winkleman delivered a powerful critique of screens, EdTech, and AI in education, arguing that the technologies reshaping childhood are also undermining imagination, concentration, and deep thinking.

 Drawing on neuroscience, educational research, and examples from schools around the world, she makes the case for books, handwriting, human teachers, and an “analog education” in a digital age.

New Moral Code [of the West.]

New Moral Code

For generations, there has been an agreed moral code in Western nations which centred around basic Christian ethics. It was the foundation of our legal system. This has changed and a new moral code has emerged. Authors Lyons and Kinnaman wrote that there are new guiding principles, here are four:

1. To find yourself, look within yourself

2. People should not criticise someone else’s life choices

3. To be fulfilled in life, pursue the things you desire most

4. Enjoying yourself is the highest goal in life

We are so used to these principles that we don’t notice them anymore. But we need to see that this has been a massive shift. We have moved from looking to a creator God as our central motivation, to ourselves.

Humanity now worships itself. Is this how we want to live?

Old Man at ARC.

It's one of my theories that Old Men are essentially needed to help Reality find its seat in a newer thought-space.

Of course we've all heard that new expression saying that the reality of "old,white men" are the bane of modern society, the so- called patriarchy of Western civilisation with its attendant illness of "toxic masculinity."  Truly if " old white men" are seemingly the problem, what of "old white women" ? 

 

Bad apples exist in every clime,society and group.

We are all taught the neo- modern claim that men are the root of  all social evils but never hear of "toxic femininity" not even as an insult to women. Perfection must be female and society needs to be  ruled by a matriarchy instead. ( As perfect as God as many claim except as perfect as a Goddess.)  In my opinion , the pendulum had swung too far, time to return to equilibrium.

Here embedded is a link to the ARC 2025 Conference in London. From a seasoned philosopher/ commentator named Os Guiness.

In his speech he alludes to such social formations as the " creative minority " and " the 3 Rs. " it is with the will and pleasure that i commend his talk to you. You might not agree but listen anyway.

Kindness of Strangers

Once when we were filming in Hong Kong, I was leaving a café with my hands full of five coffees when an elderly Chinese resident jumped to his feet to open the door for me. As I left the cafe, thankful for his small act of kindness, I thought through our times of travel and was reminded again of the numerous times we have experienced the kindness of strangers.

It challenged me as a Christian communicator. I theologically believe in the fallen nature of humanity, we are all broken and lost, yet it is wrong to demonise everyone, everywhere.

This kindness was also a reminder to all of us, be kind to others. The Apostle Paul said "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience" (Colossians 3:12). Greet others with a smile, be warm, say thank you, express appreciation. Kindness to strangers is what makes living in cities, towns and communities a joy rather than a challenge.

 Kate Forbes at ARC !

 

Kate Forbes warned that the West will pay a “heavy price” if it abandons its Judeo-Christian foundations, arguing that many of the freedoms people enjoy today are rooted in biblical truth.

Speaking at the ARC conference in London, the former Scottish deputy first minister said values such as freedom, liberty, human dignity, and the worth of life flow from the Bible and have shaped Western society for generations. She cautioned that these freedoms are “not inevitable or guaranteed,” pointing to authoritarian regimes as a reminder of the alternative.

“There is an umbilical cord between them and the Bible,” Forbes said. “Separate that, and I invite you to consider the alternative.” She urged Christians to stand courageously for biblical truth, warning that abandoning the West’s Judeo-Christian heritage would come at a significant cost.

Thanks to the unknown Contributor.
