The new Wolfram Alpha site does more than calculate -- it does Calculus!!
It remains to be seen if this is good or evil as we humans cannot see into the future. As technology has evolved so has Math curricula. The SAT is so different than it was in 19XX as I-83/4s have been normalized into the classroom and Excel spreadsheets have invaded corpoarte and daily life.
The debate over technology makes for a great discussion about the future of education and the future of society.
