The U.S. has invested heavily in classroom technology—around $30 billion on educational technology including laptops and tablets in recent years—and neuroscientists like Jared Cooney Horvath have raised concerns about potential cognitive effects. Horvath has argued that Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to score lower on standardized tests than the previous generation. However, the Fortune article does not actually establish a causal link between the technology spending and these test score declines, only that experts are concerned about the connection. The post treats a cautionary expert opinion as a proven outcome, which goes beyond what the reporting supports.
