Technology is moving at an astonishing pace. We no longer rely on the old or out dated technology such as dialing phones or dictionaries. We use to have rotary phones and our minds were sharper and could hold a multitude of numbers. Today the cell phones provide voice dialing were you don't need to recall any numbers just names. As for as spelling goes some of the new generation kids do not remember the spelling rules, they just depend on spell check and will not pick up a dictionary for the life of them. Technology is moving but we must also move with it and we have to mainly move from the basic; Yes, a fundamental foundation is still key…, the expansion…and then from there just try to keep up!!!!!
