Just the simple thought of not having them gives me a headache. I know I have been using one since I was probably in elementary school. It just made those horrendous math homework equations my life a lot easier. I am certainly extremely thankful to that great genius brain that came up with a little machine that can tell you that nine times nine is 81 and that fifty six divided by eight is seven.

In fact in the first couple of years of education I remember having to learn what back then were called the number tables and you had to memorize each number and what it multiplied to. I just remember that learning the ones was a lot of fun and the two’s kind of fun after that it all seems just a blur. I just loved when my math teacher sat there and yelled out in the whole class and yelled it what is nine times six and it really did take me a while to come up with the answering, memorizing anything is not my specialty specially numbers. I just cannot help but think to be the most grateful for this great invention and really making the world of numbers a much easier place to understand and to survive in. It makes things like calculating the number of days until your back pain is better and calculating how many more days there are until the next full moon very easy. Thanks to all the world’s calculators.
