This document presents a series of quotes from 1703 to 1985 that show how educators have historically criticized students' dependence on new technologies for writing and calculating. Each generation of educators expressed concern that students relied too heavily on the newest technologies like slates, paper, ink, fountain pens, ballpoint pens, handheld calculators, and computers rather than learning older methods. The concluding statement acknowledges that while these tools of each era are still used, computers now further aid students' lives, and new technologies will likely continue to be met with criticism.
