This document presents a series of quotes from 1703 to 1985 that show how teachers and administrators have historically complained about students' dependence on new technologies for writing and calculation. Early concerns focused on slates, paper, ink, and pencils replacing more traditional tools like bark or sharpened quills. Later quotes criticized the use of fountain pens, ballpoint pens, handheld calculators and computers. The final lines note that despite changes, people will always find something new to complain about regarding education technology.
