    Another factually wrong article on here... DED will you ever write something factual other than embellished nonsense to fit a narrative?

    Listen to Rene Ritchie’s recent Vector podcast with Bradley Chambers. Apple has work to do in the education sector. DED can spin all he wants but Chromebooks and Google’s G Suite are winning in the classroom. Probably one reason why Apple is having an education focused event. I actually don’t expect hardware to be announced at this event. My guess is it will be software focused.
    I'd rather pull my kid out of school than allow the likes of Google to data mine them and turn them into products like they have almost all living people on the planet.
    Enough of the hyperbole. You'd rather pull your kid from school than to have them educated? Also Google doesn't data mine education Chromebooks, maybe you should actually ready their privacy terms for the education market. So maybe you should do some research and stop listening to people like DED who will spin anything and everything to favour Apple no matter what.
    Google doesn't data mine education Chromebooks? Seriously???

    Well, the EFF has a somewhat different opinion and you might want to educate yourself on their complaint to the FTC and their detailed report last year:
    https://www.eff.org/wp/school-issued-devices-and-student-privacy

    Google only uses collected data to ensure that the usage is proper, but they don't use it to sell ads or anything. It's very clearly marked in their privacy terms. 

    So you might want to educate yourself before you just automatically assume that your dislike of Google is the truth. Google never denied it does track data (Apple does too on it's products), the point is that Google doesn't use that data to sell ads, etc. It's only used for product improvement when it comes to the education market.

    Anyway, here’s the takeaway from this article. 

    If a child uses a platform in school then he will carry on using that platform as an adult. 

    Daniel’s right: it’s a myth. If it wasn’t a myth then the iPad would never have sustained its lead. I used a PC throughout my formative years, and couldn’t wait to get off the platform as soon as I could afford it. 

    Furthermore, Apple knows it’s a myth. 

    Furthermore, I suspect that both Daniel and Apple know that once the kid gets home, the Chromebook is dropped in favour of the iPad, which the family can afford to buy because they got the Chromebook for nothing (thanks Google!). 
    Bingo, we have a winner. DED debunks what we know is a myth and butthurt ensues. Same as it ever was. 
    Sorry but DED didn't debunk anything. He just spread his narrative which we all know is always self serving to Apple. He will twist facts to make sure that Apple looks better. If you really think that DED isn't the one that has more reason to twist the facts as opposed to a non partisan site like Bloomberg then you're being slightly naive.

    Very American centric article, Daniel why don't you talk about the remaining 96% of the works population?
    Because that would go against his narrative.
