But what happens when society collapses? Say we suffer a cataclysmic event that resets our technological advancement to 1900?

Sad thing is some people still don't know how to use a calculator, like how to calculate simple tax!

They also told me I couldn't get a real job if I didn't wake up in the morning. Proved them wrong, they pay more more to work late.

Almost midnight and I was starting to feel low for not having identified my accomplishment of today, but low and behold here comes the @OP
RichardWellner
Yes actually that was there only fucking argument as to why i couldn't use my computer at home to do my math work.. You gotta show your work
Ulthirm
I mean truly I carry 3 devices around and commonly have my ti84
theyjustcallmeD
oh, the irony of misspelling 'damn'
fairybug
I'm 110% certain that that's why smartphones have calculators pre-loaded. Somebody wanted to show up their math teacher.

Obviously, anyone that said that to a maths teacher would only show themselves up
CrangesMcBasketball
Sadly I do remember this.

Remember when teachers said you HAVE to go to college or you'll end up working a min wage job

I feel like everything I learned in grade school was wrong.
nonamejanie
NAH take that!

I wish they'd said "Hey Andreas, the maths problems you're gonna be facing in your future, you'll have a calculator and it'll be useless"
Refridgerate
I don't know about you, but I don't really like doing e^48 in my head lmao
Tildisp
So fucking true
MackdomblesDarbleChaiseBarga
Yep, taking multivariable calculus right now. The prof makes the numbers really nice, but still allows calculators as though to mock us.

I had a Quantum Field Theory paper that was total batshit crazy nonsense. Don't think people even believe me it's maths anymore xD

So far in college all of my math courses have let me have my TI NSpire CX CAS. Doesn't make a diff if you can't show your work ;)

In Calculus 99% of your grade is how you get to the answer. The answer doesn't mean shit.

My 89 and nspire were mostly pointless for 80% of college. Great now though.

I always had a calculator watch so it was never a problem for me before cellphones

*pushes glasses up nose* The perks of being an engineer.

I feel like I had relatively little to do with it, actually.
pettyreprobate
It was all you. Thanks.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
funny thing is, the people that invented the calculator in the phone all certainly knew their multiplication tables
LearnToMakeARouxImgur
Yeah I think it's mostly down to the people that listened to those teachers. Despite them being wrong. Ironic huh ;)
Dvicemuse
You did purchase the calculator and choose to keep it with you at all times. You had a lot to do with it.
PrincessDonaldTrumpBANNED
You are the demand that pushed for it
Alrightyouwin
Give yourself a little more credit.
GoogleFucker
Like, partial credit
Smartzombie
Now it's the opposite. My statistics class is "plug it into the premade calculator equations"
matyles
I have to do applied stats in my natural resorces inventory techniques class with just a basic calculator
eatyourmeat
But did your teacher make you memorize the Central Limit Theorem? That will help you understand anything in stats
SeventhDurandal
Some teachers don't. The good ones do.
doctorbees
Mine did. It was "Stats for Computers", but we had to also know how to do the formulas by hand.
