"Technology is only going to become faster and more all-encompassing. We need to be careful not to take it all for granted and become overly dependent. If something were to happen to your phone, could you still communicate? Can you write a sentence without relying on spell checker? Are you able to multiply without a calculator? Can you find the stars in the sky without an app? The list goes on and on, but the basic idea is that simply making the knowledge available on a device is very different from learning how to get the knowledge or understanding what it actually means. We risk having an abundance of facts without having enough wisdom."
