I recall a conversation back in the early 90's with a guy that was a civil engineer .
He told me of a power failure that made it impossible for him to do his job because the computers were down . I asked him about pencils , paper and slide rules and he was dumbfounded .
Bottom line is that he could do his job , but it was not as convenient and he only wanted to rationalize his not wanting to put forth the effort .
I could go on ...
I have no issues with tools whether they be manual or tech . What I do have an issue with is dependency , and we surely are headed that way .

Why go back to drafting, slide rules, etc? Wouldn't they still have to do the computer stuff once it's up and running so why do it twice?
