The document presents quotes from various teachers' conferences and associations from 1703 to 1985 complaining about students' dependence on new technologies for writing and calculating. Each successive generation worried students relied too much on the new technologies of their time like slates, paper, ink pens, fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and handheld calculators rather than traditional methods. The document concludes that despite changes, we still use pens, pencils and calculators today alongside computers, and people will always find something new to complain about.
