I think schools should get rid of laptops, tablets, and even printed assignments. Everything should be handwritten. We’ve spent years putting computers in classrooms, and I’m not convinced students are any better at using them because of it. Plus, technology changes so fast that a lot of what they’re learning may be useless by the time they’re adults.
Reading, writing, and thinking for yourself seem more important to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if schools eventually went back to paper anyway.

IKEA gets called disposable furniture, but I think that reputation mostly comes from people buying the absolute cheapest stuff they sell. Their mid-range and better furniture is genuinely durable if you assemble it properly. You can spend a lot more elsewhere and still get particleboard or MDF that isn’t any better. I’m not saying IKEA is heirloom furniture. I’m saying it’s probably the best value for the money. Some of the IKEA stuff in my house is 10+ years old and it’s the furniture that’s held up the best.
