It stands to reason that the education system should also change to reflect the world that we live in. Screens, AI, all of it. Children will learn how to become members of the society that they were born into, not the one that we were born into.

Would it be possible to do all that's needed for young children with just a screen? I'm not so sure. The issue isn't necessarily the content, but the behavior of the child and having a person there to teach and correct behavior.
Technology plus teachers is effective. I apologize if my argument came across as no technology for young children - I'm just saying that having JUST technology for young children is difficult.
I know many people that are teachers of young children and they use technology. Kids have Chromebooks at first grade and are learning things like programming, using the internet, determining if an article on the internet may be lying to you, determining if a website's main goal is to sell something to you, becoming a good digital citizen, etc. All of that is very important!
It's also important to have a teacher in the room to teach students how to use their Chromebook, how to open it, how to physically interact with technology, how to ask each other for help, etc.
