Honestly? Fuck technology. I'm probably just in a bad mood, but that's how I feel right now. Get rid of all of it. If you can't figure it out on an abacus, you don't really need to know it!

    Algorism outpaced the abacus for a reason, and the slide rule outpaced algorism for a reason as well, but they're all good skills to have some practice with. Have you ever had to do long division on an abacus? It ain't pretty.
