I attended military training which included calculating the fallout patterns of nuclear weapons detonations. No calculators were allowed… because the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from a nuclear detonation will disable them, along with most other modern electronics. Instantaneous – no cell phones, computers, automobiles with modern electronic ignitions etc., plus the entire electric power grid is toasted. Hence the phrase, bombed back into the stone age.

The day calculators were allowed in classrooms, was the ruination of thinking. Then came computers and really made society lazy!

I went to school pre-calculators or cellphones. So I used my fingers.

The “knowledge” on your phone could be inaccessible, hacked, or just plain wrong. We study in the hopes of being able to tell the difference.
