The document presents quotes from various educational conferences and publications over 300 years expressing concern that students rely too heavily on new technologies for writing and calculation and lack important manual skills. Each successive generation worried the current generation depended too much on slates, paper, ink, fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and calculators rather than learning traditional methods like writing on slate with chalk or making their own ink and sharpening quills. However, the concluding paragraph notes we still use pens, pencils and calculators today and computers have made our lives even easier, and people will likely always complain about new technologies.
