The document presents a collection of quotes from various teachers' conferences, principals' associations, and other publications spanning from 1703 to 1985. In each quote, educators express concern that students are becoming too dependent on new technologies and tools for writing, calculating, and learning that did not exist in the past, such as slate, paper, ink, pens, pencils, calculators, and computers. The overall message is that with each new technology introduced, some argue it will have a negative impact on education, but technologies continue to change and evolve over time to enhance the learning process.
