This document presents a series of quotes from various educational organizations spanning 1703 to 1985, each complaining about students' dependence on new technologies in education. The quotes show that with every new technology introduced, from slates to paper to ink to pens to calculators, there was concern it would hinder students' learning and abilities. However, the concluding statement notes that while the technologies students use have changed, pens, pencils and calculators remain, and computers now further ease their lives, showing that progress tends to alleviate initial fears over new educational technologies.
