The reactions to ChatGPT in education, both at the K-12 and Higher Ed level really remind me of some prior technology wars going back to...
Calculator bans (students will forget or not learn how to add and subtract)
Graphic calculator bans (students will store formulas and forget critical math formulas)
Word processor/typed paper bans (students will forget how to write in cursive and how to spell and do grammar)
Laptop bans (students will just cheat and Google everything)
Wikipedia use ban (students will use unreliable and entirely too easy to access information)
I know ChatGPT is "different" from these, but it's also the same.
What other "tech innovations" fall under this history?
