This document contains quotes from various educational publications over 300 years that criticize students' dependence on new technologies for writing and calculating. Each quote laments that students rely too heavily on the latest devices and don't know how to write or calculate without them, suggesting they won't know what to do if the technology is unavailable. The concluding paragraph notes that while pens, pencils and calculators are still used, computers now make tasks even easier, and new technologies will likely always be criticized.
