Citation Machine

I absolutely love the Citation Machine. I used it in high school religiously and continue to use it to this day. It is my best friend when it comes time to writing papers for any class!

However, though Citation Machine makes my life much, much easier, I often think that with ease comes a lost skill. If I had to make a reference page and could not use the Citation Machine, I would be lost. I think that in making things easier, technology often allows us to lose important skills. Those skills become obsolete and are replaced with a simple mouse click. Will there come a point in time where people rely solely on Citation Machine to make bibliographies? Will it no longer be taught at all in the classroom? It's an interesting thought- and it applies to many other technology tools too.
