Calculator+Laura+Z.

Calculators are tools that people use in their daily life. It allows us to solve all kinds of math problems quickly and efficiently without any use of our own knowledge other than punching in numbers. Although the fact of quickly and efficiently solving problems extends us, it limits our own knowledge by not having us solve the problems for ourselves. Invented in 1965, the elderly people of today grew up without it and this proves that it was possible to live life without one, although it does tend to make life easier.



Almost everyone I know has a handheld calculator, as they make solving everyday math problems like paying bills and taxes easier. Although people consider it important, we don’t talk about it because to this generation using it is like second nature to us. Even though we are able to solve the problems on our own, there is always human error, while calculators do not make mistakes, making their use important in using our money.

In short, calculators must be used because of the human error we all have and to make sure that we do not lose money or simply get a problem wrong on a test if we are not using a calculator. We must also make sure we actually know how to do the problem first, though, before just using a calculator to solve it accurately and faster. The calculator does not need to be improved at all because there is not really much more it could do. Whether using solar power or batteries, calculators help to improve our lives to a certain extent.
