Are Computers Making Us Dumb?

Interesting article on Yahoo about a new book that I have nothing to do with but is a subject that I've often thought of. I remember my Father and Grandfather teaching me to use a slide rule but I thought a calculator was way easier. In calculus and other higher maths many students would be fumbling with their graphic calculators trying to figure things out hoping the calculator being a TI 92 would somehow make them smarter. I think I'll be picking up this book. That is, I'll probably buy the Kindel version! Oh the irony.
