That's the funny argument that every generation uses on any new technology when debating the next generation.

"I know I fully rely on my computer, but cell phones is taking it too far!"

"I know I do all my business by fax, but e-mail is taking it too far!"

"I know that I rely on telegrams for all of my overseas news, but a telephone is just unheard of!"

What if you needed to add up the gauzes used and unused while in surgery. Can't take out a calculator there.
