I do believe i had one in high school too, unless it was needed for complex problems, we didnt use them. I know I wont let my kids use one either. I find nothing wrong with the advancement of technology…I do however feel that the brain is the most powerful organ and should not be replaced with a computer chip. Same here, we had to “earn” the use of a calculator. We had to prove that we could do the math correctly without the calculator and show that we understood the calculations going on within the machine before we were allowed to use one. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/the-evolution-of-math/192918)._
