With the advent of computers and instant access to the internet, people have no need to memorize anything, or use reasoning to solve a problem. They can simply look it up.
Need to perform a simple calculation? People don’t do math in their heads anymore. They whip out the calculator on their iPhone to split a restaurant bill two ways or arrive at the final price in a 25% off sale.

Precisely!!!! Best comment ever!!!!
I did not allow my kids to have or to use a calculator until the algebra teacher said to get one in ninth G
No video games, one tv in the house. One computer.
I guess i shouldn’t wonder at the 3.6 + gpa s but it’s scary that kids feel good about not thinking
I used to tell my ninth grade english class, no, your computer can’t do all this for you i knew guys (father) who worked on the ground floor inventing and putting out personal computers. Tgey went to school when they were 14. They had to learn shakespeare, american lit, so get back to work
