True to a degree, although I know from myself that if I had something resembling a computer in class, the result of my education would probably be different.

I believe there to be a difference between slide rule/calculator - calculator/smart phone that cannot be generalized.

This is a great point. To me, calculators are very rarely entertaining. A smart phone is mostly a device to deliver ads and entertainment, and allow communication.
