Google learned something important from McDonald's: if you hook them young, they're captive customers for the rest of their lives. That's why Google made the Chromebooks.

So it's very important to Google that the next generation be exposed to the brainwashing as early as possible, and they won't let pesky learning institutions get in the way.

Why do you think Apple computers were in most all US schools since the '80s? It's the same logic. Now many people are addicted to their overpriced Macs and iPhones.

Oh sure, Google didn't come up with this. Neither did Apple - although they're probably the ones who first applied the scheme to computers.

What a weird comment, it sounds like you have stuff you want to talk about if you’re shoving them into this conversation

I think that your comment describes your comment better than it describes his comment. Do you want to talk about your irrational allegience to corporations?

Well Chromebooks failed so badly at my kids school, as it's a race to the bottom in terms of spec and cost. The Chromebooks were so craptastic that every kid never wanted to go near one again.
