      Uh what, that’s literally the point lol. The “you won’t have a calculator” has been complete and utter bullshit for literally over half a century.

        Bro, smartphones haven’t even existed for 20 years

        You’re talking as if everybody was carrying around pocket calculators the day they were invented

          No actually I literally specified people whose jobs require doing a lot of calculations lmao

          If your job required lots of calculations, and you heard about this fancy new thing called a pocket calculator, wouldn’t you go out and buy one?

            Of course. But, again, that’s not everyone. Not everyone went out and bought pocket calculators and carried them around everywhere.
