YouTube has quietly become the backbone of US classrooms
The big picture: American classrooms now run on YouTube. In many districts, it sits at the center of the entire tech stack: Chromebooks or iPads in every backpack, Google accounts for every student, and videos queued for everything from math lessons to indoor recess.

A YouTuber's optical experiment turns forgotten media into a lesson in photonic engineering
The big picture: When retro tech obsessive Shelby Jueden pointed a low-cost digital microscope at a decades-old LaserDisc, he didn't just see reflections of light – he uncovered the physical trace of analog video itself.
