This document traces concerns over changing technology and education from 1703 to 1985. Early educators worried students relied too much on slates, paper, ink, and pens instead of traditional methods like preparing bark or sharpening quills. Later concerns included dependence on store-bought ink, fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and handheld calculators. Each new technology was seen as a detriment to learning despite their conveniences. The document concludes that technology will continue changing education but complaints about each new method are inevitable.
