>They'll start using surveillance technology in schools

This has been going on since at least the 90s. Most schools put CCTV in and watch everything that is done on the property, and administrators have very little limits of access controls in place to make sure nobody is creepily watching little timmy all the time.

Chromebooks are a godsend for education. Especially for students who do not have a computer at home.

I agree wholeheartedly though that schools are used as a way to normalize authoritarian tech or policies.

Very scary... We can see technology being used in the worst possible ways and there's not much we can do apparently.
