    Yes it's important for kids to be able to use the technology of today and tomorrow however when the basics go by the wayside what you are really doing is making people even more dependent on the technology and in the end less educated.

    I was just reading an article discussing how the FAA is getting very concerned about the increasing number of airline accidents caused by pilot error. Today's pilots are reduced to computer operators and button pushers to the point many have little ability to really fly the plane relying on technology and when that fails...well. Something to think about during your next flight eh?
