They imagine a future where: “Parents ask their children, ‘Why aren’t you watching more YouTube?’” “School administrators shift budgets from textbooks to YouTube subscriptions.” I don’t know a single parent or school asking for this. Real technology literacy means students understand that platforms like YouTube and Google make money through ads and by maximizing time on platform. It means understanding how algorithms are designed to capture attention and drive revenue, often at the expense of depth, focus, and well-being.
