Lately, there's been a growing debate in my country, Indonesia, over gadget use in schools. A few videos went viral showing high school students unable to answer basic questions when put on the spot. What are your thoughts on this, guys?

I think the way we study before is much better though the gadgets and technology help a lot if put to good use like research

Gadgets are banned in schools here because they distract the students

I think young people should be severely limited in what they are allowed to use in school because what used to be common knowledge, no longer is. That’s scary.

Kids today can't think for themselves because they're used to just solving every problem on their gadgets.
