Absolutely. Technology has evolved computing to the least common denominator, as it it supposed to do. This 'easiness' has nothing to do with critical thinking, analysis, and other thinking skills humans need to develop. There is certainly a place for computer-based learning; I learned more about Linear Algebra and Continuous and Discrete Signal Processing from machines than I did from any professor...but expecting to place elementary level kids in front of a machine and expecting them to emerge as Karl Gauss is idiotic.
