I worked leading the digital product of an education company with a whole methodology, books, teacher coaching program, etc.
The education guru of that company talked a lot about Estonia, Finland, and Singapore as models of the best education in the world (pre college). These countries get consistently good PISA scores. And guess what? Close to zero tech in education in these countries.
Some papers were released that showed fine motor control (eg pen and paper writing) has deep implications in cognitive development.
And then slowly we've started to see all the consequences of phones, tablets, social media etc on gen z and alpha. I don't think it's controversial to say kids should not be using these devices and there's plenty of research to prove it. Obviously schools in many countries are now banning them.
