It has got so bad that more students are doing poorly in the NAPLAN school leaving exam. Success rates have declined over the last five years. It seems children in the early grades of their studies do quite well. However, when learning on computers begins the interest moves to the keyboard.

The invention of the hand-held calculator was the start of the downward spiral. No checkout operator now can add up purchased items and decide on correct change in their heads, or even on a piece of paper.
