SUMMARY: Blair’s Social Second discusses how school today differs significantly from the past, especially with the rise of technology. Kids are online younger, with 13 now being the new 16, increasing the need to educate them about online safety. Unlike before, schools now use Chromebooks, AI, tablets, and digital tools instead of chalkboards, overhead projectors, and textbooks.
