This trend has been going on for quite some time now. Think of this, the more techno savvy we become, the more we rely upon it to do our work. Because of this, we are all less and less capable of doing the work required. Proof? I teach 6th/7th grade science. The typical student cannot spell, doesn't know how to break a word down to figure its origins, roots, meaning etc., doesn't know how to use a table of contents and many other things the older generations had no choice but to do the long way, work it out. This trend is alarming and will continue as long as we continue to teach to the test.
