    if you wanna tell apart gen z from gen alpha, ask them if they remember the teacher having them use these smartboards and making someone recalibrate the touchscreen to the projection when it was off:

    afaik the new spoiled shits all get these in every classroom, they were rolling em out when i was graduating:

    at least in places that can afford it. this might be more true in a few years

      I never got to see these things in action while in school, but I remember hearing they were on the way. To this day, I’ve still only interacted with analog boards.

        My very rural school used a technology grant to get a few smart boards (that first kind). I’m an older millennial. They were not as useful as a white board for drawing stuff on the board but quicker to setup for slide presentations.
