GoTo & Technology

Ok..this thread is not intended to insult anyone but to gather opinions..so..here goes.

Are computerized “Go-To”mounts making Astronomers lazy....lazy to learn the sky?

I believe the reliance on calculators in schools has had the effect of making kids ignorant to the basic fundamentals in mathematics. Texting on mobiles has made them lazy in basic english and communication. So what about us in this hobby..has the new technology made us less appreciative of what the sky has to offer.
