@jk I hate to say, but I saw it happen when I was teaching. Students don't think and can't figure things out because they are too accustomed to running to the computer and looking it up or asking a robot that tells them the answer. In the last years when I was teaching, if I said, "Today we are NOT going to the computers; we are going to think for ourselves from our own brains." They couldn't do it. It was the saddest part of teaching to see them not use their own brains. We always say about anything we ignore, "Use it or lose it." That's what's happened. They haven't used their ability to think and they have lost it. They want someone or something to tell them.
Awful!

@retiredteacher that really is awful, but my son, daughter, and son-in-law were in school prior to the usage of computers.
The other thing that is going by the wayside is math -- everyone uses calculators.
