At the same time, we should probably take the availability of technology in consideration when designing educational curriculums and put more emphasis on the things that still distinguish us from computers. For example, high schools eventually allowed (even mandated) the use of calculators and a lot of engineers today probably wouldn't be able to do long division by heart without having to Google it. And some schools have started spending less time on teaching hand writing (e.g. stopped teaching cursive) now that smartphones and computers are so ubiquitous.
