   Because of calculators, no one knows how to add/subtract/multiply/divide anymore….

   I have a handwritten addresbook even though all my phone numbers are in a special email address I compiled I titled “Addresses”. (up until now I have no cellphone).

   Last night when I saw my friend’s GPX said “Go to East 241st St,” I realized we were going to pass the corner of the street where I grew up and directed my friend, over the advice of the GPX, to our destination.

   I don’t know how to use a calculater; I’m a real luddite. Once I was returning 12 deposite bottlesd, grouped by 3s in rows of 4, and the clerk needed a calculator to see how many bottles they were!

   and why did a clerk need a calculator to figure the change I would get from my dollar at the 99 cent store?

   The same reason they need “the book” to tell the difference between a quarter pounder and a quarter pounder with cheese at the local McDonald’s

    Attractive women should know their own phone numbers because at the bar guys are going to ask “What’s your number?” and you don’t want to give your REAL one by accident.

    This is very right (and scary) in addition to all he said. I’ve been downright frightened when I gave extra money to get change and the clerk couldn’t figure out how to give change… when I worked at a gas station, I would typically not use the register to tell me how much change to give and was always spot-on.
    The only phone numbers I know by heart are my own and my parent’s number (as I called it many times when I lived there before cell phones). :-s

    I know my own number but many others I have both written down and on my cell phone. I work to figure out in my head change for practice.

    Because of calculators, no one does math any more.
