Calculators: I feel like I am not too depndent on calculators. I do use one in my college algebra class but mostly for the larger exponential problems. Other than that I can usually just scribble out a problem and figure it out easily enough on my own.
Auto-Complete: I don't use auto-complete on my phone. I do like how Google Chrome has a spell check function now though. I have become alittle dependent on that because I am usually pretty bad at spelling.
Texting: I. Hate. Text. Language. When my sister texts me it's almost indecipherable. My mom and I make jokes all the time about how long our texts are because we spell out every word.
Search Engines: The claim made in this point was that there was a less amount of information recall using a search engine. I personally feel that when used effectively search engines can be very usefull in an academic situation. It potentially can open the doors to a lot more information that could be available to you that you never wouldv'e thought of on your own.
Email: OK honestly just don't constantly check your email while you're working.
Websites: Websites are very udefull. We use them to write these blogs and check our assignments and grades. But because the internet is a public domain there is a lot of unuseful and frankly inapropriate. As long as you know the difference the internet can be a very useful source of information.
I personally haven't noticed a change in myself since using technology because I have been familiar with it for such a big part of my life.
