calculators
are we getting stupider? seems like we have to use a calculator for everything now. i love mental math, estimations, shortcuts and getting from point a to b asap. is there any future for that at all? i’m worried that this once seemingly defining skill is now used only for quick thrills.
well, tip calculations. i guess that could set you apart. also, quick estimations of people’s salaries (and their worth! bahaha)
but i’m guilty of stupidity when i have a calculator in my hand. i’m doing my lab report right now, and i just asked myself what 100 x 0.1 is. and then i typed it into my calculator, made a mistake, retyped it, and pressed enter. =/
(by the way, it’s 10. don’t hurt yourself :p)
there’s probably a convention somewhere where people meet up and exchange dumb calculator stories! mine would be one such story. oh man! this MUST exist somewhere.
