Now that we have spell check, and computers to aid drafting, it makes the human have to do less work to accomplish more in less time. Therefore, less effort. Also Texas Instruments is making the earth stupider. Now with the Ti-83+ up to the Ti-whatever, math has become really easy, plot points in the calculator, and bam you have a circle drawn for you....
Im not anti-Technology by any mean, but what I said is all true....
Thats my $0.02
On a side note,
"I don't know with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

I ussually take twice as long making a program for my 83+ to do my assignment for me. Most of the time I could do the whole thing in my head in less time, but once I've programmed it I dont have to worry about forgetting it for the quiz ;p
