This document presents a series of quotes from 1703 to 1985 that show how educational technologies have continually evolved and how each new technology was initially criticized. The quotes express concerns that students had become too dependent on slates, paper, ink pens, fountain pens, ballpoint pens, and calculators rather than learning older technologies. However, the document notes that we now use all of these technologies as well as computers, and there will always be criticism of new educational technologies.
