> Did we get worse at maths by using computers to do our computation? We did as a matter of fact. If you could get in a time machine, I'm sure people 50 years ago were better at mental arithmetic that current-day people. They got a lot more practice, since they had not other choice. Today you can probably live your life without even knowing how to add or subtract. Just stick your card in the slot and let the computer do everything.
