Changing tech is usually a lot harder than adoption. Better methods and protocols will keep emerging to fight new digital threats but with physical threats usually don’t change. Only exception is social engineering (e.g. attacking a locked door by tricking someone into opening it). Even then a physical presence is required and someone can’t enter a locked room from 2000 miles away.

It’s called paying people to watch the systems during off-hours. It’s often way cheaper than setting up firewalls, setting up alerts, maintaining patches, paying a VPN company to manage connections, paying another company to handle authentication, and so on. Security constraints are getting so bad at my office I’m seriously thinking of how we can do more things with pen and paper.

I’m sure there are right and wrong ways to apply digital learning but I also think adoption has been driven by tech companies and anyone that is starstruck by the “potential” of these devices. I can almost guarantee there were no long-term studies performed prior to sticking all kinds of screens in front of kids faces. Humans have been learning and teaching for millennia using physical mediums. It’s very foolish to think we, as a species, can suddenly shift to a new medium in a single generation with no ill effects.
