Well, this is generational. Okay. So Technologies provide us with tools. You mentioned the calculator, right? Well, a calculator didn't eliminate you know, the education you need to get in math, but it made certain things easier. It made it possible for you to do more things and more accurately.

However, interestingly, students in my class often come up with answers that are off by, you know, eight orders of magnitude, and that's a huge amount, right? It's clear that they didn't key in the calculator properly, but they didn't recognize that it was a fairly... was completely way off the beam because they didn't have a good feeling for the numbers.
