#3 Some kid didn't want to go to school that day. LOL. But then, don't they remember paper and pencils?

Abu U,

Can't rule that cause out, and I'm pretty sure not one of those little snowflakes would know HOW to use a pencil and paper.

Am reminded of an instance in the late 80s where my Air Force base went computerized for all maintenance work orders - and it was going to take us so far into the millennium that we were told to dispose of the paper forms, and to be found in possession of said forms would get your section a write up.

The obvious happened; the new computer system crashed and stayed that way for three months.

With the exception of my Combat Munitions Unit, because I had the good sense to take all those forms and put them in my trunk. We never missed a job.

#1  ...The important thing though is that the people responsible for protecting those systems were suitably diverse and listed their pronouns.
