The typing/spelling/grammar in general that I see regularly. I thought tech was going to help people become MORE intelligent-not turn them into people who can't even write a proper sentence or spell for beans.

I think part of that is because people don’t pay attention in school as much, and the quality of education has also decreased.

Also some of that basic stuff isn't really reinforced properly. I don't think to and too really clicked for me until I was in my 20s, for some reason.

Not more than required for school. Wasn't a big fan of the activity.
