One big benefit of being proficient in working without the computer, is being able to say “Hey, wait a minute” when the computer starts giving you bad answers.

There WILL come a day when we discover that foreign made components (or US made components designed by people not loyal to us) have a “remote trigger glitch”. As in the pilot episode of Battlestar Galactica.

sane with the slide rule, statistics, lawyers, real estate agents.

Very few people understand the basics anymore. But they have a number

I have GPS in my car. I also have paper maps. Before traveling to a place I am not familiar with, I will check the paper map first and get an idea of the best route.

GPS are useful but I will not risk my life on them.
