Reading this thread has made me realise how much we rely on gadgets to do something that the grey matter should do as a common act. What would happen if all this electronic guff went up the swanny one day how would we cope? We have become too relient on it to the point that things like maths written English (in a letter with proper spelling grammer etc) are dying out.

Are we condeming or children to being slaves to a machine??? My own daughter isnt hot at maths and if she struggles askes for the calc. If I make her try it the old fashion way its a case of it "takes to long" or "I cant do that." I will keep trying even if its just for basic maths as I believe you should only need a calc in an emergency.
