Kind of like abandoning simple math as the calculator does it easier.
Yeah... That's what I was thinking... Better not give them a pencil..! They would think it was some kind of new stabbing weapon... :)
In a calc course, we had to show how we arrived at the functions we plotted on graph paper. I had a TI-86 graphics calculator that I used to check my answers with. Technology is great to have around, but understanding the fundamentals is more useful.
Reminds me of the scene in Apollo 13 where Lovell in a critical time shortage is calculating their position in his head and on a worksheet and calls the numbers down to mission control and within a couple of minutes with slide rules and paper they calculate the correct numbers for the LEM computer.
