I agree, you can learn without these things, however technology does help. Years ago, in the days of slide rules, calculus was all about getting the graph down on paper. Now-a-days it's all about learning from those graphs etc, reading them, and etc, because it's easier to do it.
It's a toss up, these days kids don't know how good they have it, and i was a kid not too long ago... i managed to get edjimikated without newfangled ache-dee-tee-vees or kahm-pew-ters in the classroom, i gots mai readin and ritin and rithmatic just fihn.
anywhozle, i'm of the mind that donating money isn't the best way to help (in-fact with the rare exception of a few charities, like the ronald mcdonald house, or whoever happens to be hanging out at the register, that get my change, i only donate money to a breast cancer foundation). It's better to help by doing than by funding, because when you do something it goes 100% to someone who needs it, no skimming off the top.
I sit on the fence i guess, but when the jury is out i'll be donating whatever i feel i can spare this month.
