My last year of High School the "rich" kid got a hand held calculator..Cost over $200.00 then, today it's $5.00 in the check out aisle at the groc store.Originally Posted by sierra_bound
Good thing is that I learned to do math in my head and that stays today.
they don't teach the math "tricks" anymore. A shame..

Yes, you are right. Computers are a blessing and a curse. They have made people intellectually lazy.Originally Posted by Movieman

Agreed! especially when you can't afford a fancy graphical calculator either, I wonder if the lecturer would understand if I told him I can't afford one because £45 could buy me another cruncherOriginally Posted by L0$t Pr0PhEt

I think what Movieman was talking about was that in the old days, very few people had calculators. They learned, often on their own, various shortcuts to doing calculations. In other words, they had to rely on their brains. Just by scanning a list of 9-10 numbers like the ones in my checkbook, I can come pretty close to calculating the total amount within a matter of a few seconds. But I've become lazy like a lot of other people and rely on calculators and other devices to do the work for me.
Nothing yet... Saving upOriginally Posted by riptide
I've got a TI-83 Plus, and guess what: we're allowed to save up every chapter of our books in our calculators, so life has gotten easier for us... And it can be overclocked!!Originally Posted by melymel2789
