For my child to participate in elementary school, and not be left out of comouter-based learning, I have to approve of her using a chromebook which is doing exactly what I'm sure we can all imagine with future marketable data sources: building profiles.

"..and when they were 7 they liked..." "Try the color red, they used to prefer than, might be a good nostalgic pitch..."

Ew. The government gave me a laptop and I put ubuntu on it
