Gone are the days of using pencil and paper to figure out math problems. I personally learned math this way, then got up in high school and had to learn how to use a scientific calculator. I had a class for a year about how to use this calculator. Since then math and I aren't friends. In that sense I think it has made us more technologically smart but not more math smart because the calculator does all the work for us. I was actually having a discussion with an old high school math teacher of mine a few days ago and she said no longer can she count off for incorrect equal signs or actually feel like she's teaching because of all the new technology. Computers are teaching students these days. I think it contributes to us being lazy too and not using all of our brainpower.

I agree with the point that you made above, this article was very informative and provides quite a few insights that I found interesting. The most interesting to me is the way that search engines contribute to the way we remember things. I've never considered this before, but thinking back it's definitely true! Good find!
