My son just finished his second year of college.  He was taking a laptop to his classes his first year and then (wonderfully as it has turned out) the screen broke.  He started using a notebook (gasp) and writing his notes that way.  He got his computer fixed, but has never gone back to taking it to his classes.  He says that the kids who do that are distracted and that having the computer was not making him a better student.  He is not suffering from not using technology as he already knows how to use a computer for many things (and does so when not in his classes).  As someone mentioned, technology will continue to change and people will learn how to use it as it does.  Schools are, no doubt, not using the technology that will be important to the students in their later careers.  Also, I did not use a computer until I was in my late 20's.  I use it constantly now and I am gainfully employed and a productive member of society.  I do find that I am a much better and faster writer than many younger people (FWIW).  So I have two great skill sets instead of one.  [/quote]
