> It's really a condemnation of computers in education. I've never understood this whole computers-in-classrooms push. I can't see how it would help kids learn reading, 'riting, or 'rithmatic better than the traditional methods. Like you say, it's a great reference tool. But if my school library didn't have any reference books (the World Book Encyclopedia, back in my day), the only impact to my learning would have been that research papers were harder to write. (Man, I hated those things. And those stupid note cards)
