Could it be that kids who only can multiply with a calculator are worse off than kids who don't have access to a calculator? I'm thinking him not having the text-books.
Either way I think it's interesting to consider what intellectual tools like computers are doing to our ability to think. A similar thing I read somewhere how kids no longer are able to use keyboards since they only use their phones.
And what about asking Alexa or Siri for the answer to everything? Not learning languages because everything can be machine-translated. Do such tools in fact make us dumber?
