When I was at school we had a calculator and non-calculator paper. We weren't taught from text books at primary school either, it was all on the board stuff, and mostly the same at high school apart from some subjects.
Obviously education changes over time though, that happens because knowledge changes over time.
I obviously know how I've learnt what I know, and I'm obviously aware of what other resources are available to me at home to learn from and I am positive that I wouldn't know nearly have as much as I know now without the internet. It is an actual fact and it ties into the other thread about the library really. That was my source of information from a young age. The internet (thankfully) replaced that so I can get more up to date information and I didn't have to walk miles to get it.
I wouldn't have bothered reading new information every day if I had had to walk all the way to accrington.
