Oh, it's doable, and even maybe a little cute, watching the young'uns enter data like their mommies and daddies working at their desks under the fluorescent hum of lights making enough money to pay the bills.
But it's not something anyone needs to do before sprouting axillary hair.
Technology is not going to fix the cultural injustices that haunt our hallowed halls. But we can pretend.

I think (I'm not sure of much) technology has some possibilities to do so good, but not like this. Entering data into a spreadsheet isn't going to do anything. It doesn't connect people or help us understand others. It's simply a skill some adults need (and not a hard one to gain either) so we decide our kids have to learn it.
