[Discussion] What Have Calculators Done to Us??

[Chibiusa]

Okay so, I have a lab practical exam tomorrow and we have to do a lot of math, namely multiplication and long division. The horrible thing is, we can't use calculators.

At the time I was like "Okay, whatever" but tonight I realized I've completely forgotten how to do math by hand. How the hell do you do long division? I completely forgot about adding zeros when doing long multiplication. And oh god, decimals! Decimals everywhere!

My point is, are calculators making us dumber? Should schools encourage teachers to use calculators less and have kids actually learn the stuff?

Please don't call me dumb, guys

I've used a Ti-84 calculator since Freshman year of HS.. and without it I can still do math, even if it's harder. Just use scrap paper and do it by hand..if you know basic addition/multiplication/subtraction/division, you're good.

@Pumpkin, I don't think she approves of such peasants.

I'm practicing now with videos on youtube. It's just so hard! Especially with fractions and stuff. I literally have to relearn all the basics just to try and build from there

I am a girl!!!! I already proved it!

Solution is next time whenever the equation is possible use mental math.

You're the gold medal of the special Olympics.

Bro, we can go.

You two just can't compare to me.
