In '76, my grandfather -- a mathematician -- bought me my first
calculator.  (A 7-digit red LED Commodore, no less.  And, yes, that's the
same Commodore.)  My next-door-neighbor predicted the demise of all
abilities to compute when our brains went soft because of calculators. 
Fast-forward to high-school physics, and our teacher decided to force logs
on us... by way of a sliderule.  I was the fastest in my class -- but it
still made me wonder if similarly-dire Luddite-esque predictions hadn't
been made when they'd come along.
