I was in the first calculator generation. I bought my first scientific calculator when I was about 11. Just a couple years older and I would know how to use a slide rule. As it is I still learned log tables though they were becoming a memory by then.
Still have my CRC Standard Mathematical Tables and Formula book......................
Calculators were coming out about the time I was graduating from high school, but they were really expensive and wouldn’t do all that much. I still have my old Pickett slide rule. I must admit my memory wasn’t nearly good enough to learn log tables, though I certainly know how to use them.
