Math is a centric area of knowledge that is used in many subject areas. One of the areas that it is commonly used in is the ever expanding digital world. Computers, and the applications that run on them, is complicated yet organized jumble of codes, algorithms, and equations.

Individuals from the older generations needed to remember more information/knowledge because they did not have the vast amounts of access to information we have today.

There is a conflict between what is required to be remembered (without the help of outside sources, such as a digital device/internet) and what is allowable to be obtained from an outside source (e.g. Google)

How has the onset of the digital age impacted the presence of math in human lives?

To what extent should computers be relied on with regards to memorized information and knowledge? (Mathematics with a focus on computers)
