This magazine is dedicated to discussions on the latest developments, trends, and innovations in the world of technology. Whether you are a tech enthusiast, a developer, or simply curious about the latest gadgets and software, this is the place for you. Here you can share your knowledge, ask questions, and engage in discussions on topics such as artificial intelligence, robotics, cloud computing, cybersecurity, and more. From the impact of technology on society to the ethical considerations of new technologies, this category covers a wide range of topics related to technology. Join the conversation and let's explore the ever-evolving world of technology together!
I think there's always a benefit to learn "low level" tasks that may not be relevant to daily use but inform children (or young adults) how these things work from a fundamental standpoint. For example, your rubbing two sticks example, there is a benefit to knowing the basics of how this works, how to achieve it, and the science behind why it works. I think those lessons are things that kids today have already, but are missing it when it comes to the world of technology/maths/computer sciences.
Having said that, I have no kids so I have no say on this matter. If I did have a kid, I would hope that they learn the foundation of any technology they are expected to use on a day-to-day basis.
