GRAND AVENUE BY STEVE BREEN & MIKE THOMPSON Gabby: I don't have to do math. My smartphone does it for me! Gabby: I don't need to find directions. My smartphone tells me exactly where I am. Gabby: I don't need to tell time. My smartphone tells me what time it is. Gabby: I don't need to write down my schedule. My smartphone remembers for me. Gabby: I don't need to spell properly. My smartphone corrects my mistakes automatically! Grandma: Which means you now have plenty of time to clean your room. Gabby: Make that my too-smart-for-its-own-good-phone.

That’s why I keep a 6-inch slide rule on the visor of my car. Most of my engineering education calculations were done with a slide rule, with help from a mainframe computer for the rocket ballistic calculations….cabalonrye over 9 years ago
I have a full set of paper maps in my car and a compass. Was laughed at quite often by the younger ones… until the GPS went down.

When I was in high school I had a scientific calculator (the equivilant of todays smart phone) but I promised my Algebra II teacher that I wouldn’t use the calculaters automatic functions until after I learned to do the calculations on my own. Once I learned how to do them on my own I realized I could actually do the calculations faster in my head than I could by punching the figures into the calculater, so I never did use most of the higher functions.
