They don't learn the material.

All they know is the output, copy, paste, give it to you.

So that's why you think about calculators.

kids who learn math on a calculator typically outperform kids who learn math with pen and paper so long as they have their calculator as soon as you take calculator away they drop to basically nothing because they weren't learning math they were just learning how to type things so that you would go right answer and so a lot of this tech stuff maybe as adults we can use it and that's where i can see some people saying

If I'm trying to invent the next space shuttle, technology can help.

Cool.

But if you're trying to learn about space or what it means to build something or how engineering works, all of that stuff should be done analog and offline.

Don't use the tool you use to make your life easier before you understand what the process is first.

My undergrad, I was in film school.

So they wouldn't let us touch cameras till our third year.

Junior year of film school, couldn't touch any equipment.

We were pissed.

All we did was yell at them, no, we want to make movies.

But the argument they said was, an idiot with a camera is still an idiot.

Like, mate, I could give you one today, but you're going to have nothing to say.

But if we spend years figuring out how do you think through the medium of film?

What's the language?

What are the patterns?

What are the processes?

Now you have something to do with the tool.
