Unless you're a convenience store or a machine shop or something, that sounds pretty idiotic. How does that work? 30% are expected to BYOD?

Maybe their core business is lobbying the government for handouts and subsidies, and they're actually really incompetent at running airlines?

But whichever way to write we teach them, we should teach the children to spell.

In The Future, regardless of whether the car is autonomus or not, it will of course always report its travels to the manufacturer, and to the government. For Your safety, citizen. And because terrorists.

I've always wondered about that too. How do you even come up with the idea?

Somewhere cheap, I presume. I mean, come on, I could make as good-looking as any flat icons. I could never make even passable skeuomorphic icons. This has to be a scheme to not have to hire actual artists to make your UI.

If the the populace rebels, or votes for more liberal (in the "freedom" sense, not in the American politics sense) policies, they will get no education, no affordable housing, and no healthcare. Surveillance enables the government to quell such dissent. There, that's the connection.

Won't these classes rather be on how to use word processors, spreadsheets, and other Microsoft applications, and name-the-parts-of-the-computer, and such? Maybe write some Visual BASIC on the last week of the semester.
