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?

@udinwardoyo the younger ones, hopefully they use it wisely and do not depend on them too much

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.
