I began this paper with a quote from Albert Einstein. Given the vast quantity of information available on any given subject in physics, this makes a lot of sense, but we all know how useful it is to memorize certain things before an exam, for example. The point is that there is an advantage to having information at your fingertips. The advanced features of the Google calculator make this possible without our having to do the memorizing.

Future generations of physicists will pass the responsibility of unit conversion, unit checking, algebra, calculus, and looking up the physical constants to computers much in the same way our generation passed off addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The earlier this responsibility is passed off in students' education, the sooner they can get to the forefront of physics. They will, of course, need some training in the basics, but we will eventually abandon spending years on multiplication tables, algebra, and calculus so that students can tackle introduction to string theory before they graduate from high school. They won't be able to do it because they got intrinsically smarter, but because the Google calculator bar in their heads-up-display, which is linked to the Internet through their personal WI-FI connection, will enable them to concentrate on the really important things without spending a lot of time worrying about the remedial math.
