No, technology is not to blame.
This generation of students have an arsenal of equipment to help them become geniuses.
Yet no matter how good the technology available, it comes down to basics.
The syllabus for Mathematics fails many students and teachers because maths taught in school is not real to life.
Worldwide, there are many bright, intelligent students who lose interest in mathematics because the techniques, analysis and information learned are redundant and rarely useful for the 'real' world.
Yes, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are useful, long life skills.
However is algebra and all the over technical mathematician gymnastics that come with it useful? Unless a student is intending to go into a specific field where complex mathematical information is needed, a large portion of mathematical syllabus is defunct.
It is time students were taught the 'numbers' skills which are so crucial in life:1.
How to manage a budget.2.
How to save.3.
How to work out finances needed to buy or rent a house.4.
The real meaning of a mortgage.5.
The real meaning of debit.6.
The real meaning of credit cards.7.
How to plan for the future.8.
How to use spare money wisely.9.
How to understand what financial help and support is available.10.
How to set up own business.

New technology cannot be blamed for the poor literacy in maths. The problem starts from the root. That is the problem is with the way of teaching maths. If a teacher teaches the subject in a way that can create an interest to the subject in students then the problem is solved. Actually from the school itself a student is getting the fear for the subject. And it is because of this fear they are losing interest in the subject and tries to avoid the subject and there by creating the problem poor literacy in maths. Once a student whether a school student or a college student can overcome his fear he will become smart in maths..sure. Only a good teacher can do this and can convince the students that there is no easy way to understand math only hard work is the best way.. new technolgies will help for references... Inorder to understand the subject students alone have to work.

Technology is ease the processes for humans and the same applies to Education as well.
It is not the technology which is to be blamed for poor literacy but the facilitators who are responsible to introduce the technologies and their usage.

Not only for maths, but in every subject.
before the data made available people strive hard for their work, assingments and other study material.
they go libraries consult teachears used to go to their seniors for guideline.
what happened after technology advances? students/workers open google and put key words, get related work material , copy it and paster theri work has been done.
no mantel work, no hardwork.
