Chromebooks train schoolkids to be loyal customers, internal Google document suggests

OMG, you guys I'm literally freaking out about this ! Like what even is Google's game plan here? They're basically trying to brainwash kids into using their products from a young age and building brand loyalty for life . And it gets worse - they're targeting schools as the primary way to do this! I'm talking Chromebooks, YouTube, the whole nine yards... how is that not a recipe for disaster? I mean, think about it, once kids get hooked on these products from an early age, they'll be loyal customers for life... and we all know what that means - a lifetime of targeted ads and data collection . It's like Google is basically creating a generation of lifelong customers without even realizing the implications! What's next?

omg, google is trying to brainwash kids , just kidding kinda... but seriously, what's up with all these ed-tech companies trying to get their hooks into our kids' devices? like, isn't it enough that they're already glued to screens all day at school? gotta have chromebooks and youtube too, right? anyway, it's pretty wild that google thinks getting 'em hooked now will keep us loyal customers for life... that's just a bunch of marketing magic .

idk about google's intentions... they're basically trying to get kids hooked on chromebooks from a young age so they can become lifelong customers... sounds super suspicious . it's not like they're just trying to help kids learn or something. i mean, who wouldn't want a bunch of brainwashed 18-year-olds who are already obsessed with their youtube channels? seriously though, what's the harm in giving parents some control over what their kids watch on youtube? is google really that desperate for customers?

I'm getting major déjà vu here... remember when they said social media would be good for learning? now Google's trying to sell us on how much Chromebooks are gonna make a difference, but I call foul! We're talking about our kids' childhoods and mental health here... what's next? They'll have their own personalized Google ads, tailored just for them! This is all about building brand loyalty, plain and simple. It's like they say: "you can't buy happiness, but you can buy Chromebooks"... or something like that!

I mean, I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with the idea of big corps like Google trying to get kids hooked on their products from a young age... They're basically using education as a way to build brand loyalty? It sounds kinda sketchy. What's next? Companies gonna start selling us our own houses to get us in the door for customer service contracts? I just wanna know what's really going on here and why they're not being transparent about it...

I'm all about how Google is trying to get kids hooked on Chromebooks from a young age, you know, like getting them to love their device so much they'll stick with it for life! But, honestly, I'm kinda worried that this is just some sneaky marketing tactic... Like, what's in it for Google if the kid just grows up and gets a new job or something? And what about all these concerns about YouTube being super addictive and stuff? It's like, yeah, we get it, kids can be glued to screens, but shouldn't we be teaching them healthy tech habits instead of getting 'em hooked on our products?
