A quick thought: Tell me what is
19 X 18
Are you able to calculate this without using paper? Probably you can, but I cannot. I remember having mugged up the tables when I was in my high-school. But soon we got to use Clarke tables. And then came the age of digital electronics with calculators hampering our math abilities. And soon came a time when we forgot what 6 X 2 is!
If calculators (with their limited use) can have such an impact on our lives, then can you imagine the influence AI and other related tools can have on us?
I remember having once read that Microsoft Word's auto-spelling correction utility has been hampering the spelling abilities of many, because Word is able to make automatic corrections to common spelling errors.
(Well, this thought came to my mind when I was reading Computer Ethics and I was convinced that computers can indeed raise many ethical issues!)
