Dude Socrates was convinced that reading and writing would ruin everyone's memory who grew up with it. Whining about somehow handicapping the next generation by making them "too dependent on technology" or whatever and couching it in reasonable-sounding terms is as old as language, and time always makes fools of those who indulge in that sort of masturbatory delusion. You're just jealous we had cooler toys, own it.
