My observation over a similar timespan has been the exact opposite.

Bygone days very few ringbinders or prompts, if anyone wanted to entertain the company they took the trouble to actually learn what they wanted to sing.

Today ringbinders, tablets, phones used with the reasoning/excuse of "Oh I only use it as a prompt" - yet time after time after time they sing the same bloody song and yet still they need the "prompt", they still sing to the room head down nose jammed in the ringbinder, tablet, phone.
