"you're not going to carry a calculator with you everywhere"
The thing is I believe that statement is a bit misunderstood.
Calculators were already becoming pocket sized back in the day, but using it to calculate things if you don't know how to use it is where the actual problem is.
Hence the reasoning to learn how to math vs only having the device.
I'm not saying I disagree, but I had a different experience.
