It's less the laptops and more how they're used and rolled out.
Mindless and thoughtless use creates mindlessness.
Especially where consumption interactions are conflated with creation and exploration.
Digitization itself isn't the issue. It's much more so not being literate in the different forms of digitization that then remain generalized in studies and articles.
Digital literacy and competency at the level of the teachers, instructors, researchers etc is as big of a barrier to knowing what's being done today might in fact still be anchored in the past, while students are in the present and future for better and worse.
