CALCULATORS BY:DEVI

Calculators are a modern day device that has truly revolutionized our world by speeding up not only the mathematical world but different fields such as science. These devices keep getting stronger and more advanced bringing our world closer together and helping us to invent new innovations vital to our fast paced environment.

The history starts in the humble times when innovation and inventions had just started to sprout. The first version of a calculator was the abacus. The abacus consists of a wire grid in a wooden (or plastic) frame with vertical rows of beads strung on wires. A center bar divides the upper rows of two beads each from the lower rows of five beads. Starting from the right and moving to the left, you can designate a ones column to begin counting. This version of counting now is considered very challenging because we are immune to the easy version of just punching in the numbers and "bam" there’s your answer. Ever since then calculators have been growing. [|Cheap Calculator on Amazon.com]



The first punch in calculator was invented in 1965. Nowadays I see people everyday not being able to do simple math in their head. Think about this: what is 50x35...see you need a calculator. But when our grandparents were children the efficient calculator wasn't invented yet. This forced them to use mental math, causing them to have a greater IQ and better thinking and common sense skills. [|Free Calculator]

Although calculators are not always associated with technology it has impacted our lives in negative and positive ways. Calculators have impacted our lives positively because they have helped us to do math faster and more efficiently. It has also impacted our lives in a negative way. Having calculators limits our ability to think and solve problems. Since we lack this ability it has slowed the way we survive and think when put in situations involving us to use our brain power.



Calculators are now a commodity in our society, but just a mere 40 years ago, they were just being born. In closing, calculators not only impact our mathematic ability but also the atmosphere at work, school, and the environment we live in. Although many think this is the last step for the development of calculators, hopefully the calculator is a device that will keep getting better.
