The comment about long division is apt, I think. I do think increasingly fewer people understand basic concepts; we've reversed the great education of the masses that began with the printing press. I believe much of the anti-science conspiracy-based sub-culture we've been seeing is a result of this. Maybe we *will* let computers do all of our critical thinking for us, and move increasingly back into a dark ages of wealthy lords ruling superstitious peasants who think spirits make the wind blow, and people who can do algebra are magicians.

I hope not, but that does seem the direction it is going.
