My 9yo daughter is learning her times tables. It's been hard, but she is so pleased that she knows the answer to '8X7'.

And then today in the office we had a few involved sums to work out. Sarah, my co-worker, immediately reached for the calculator. Accountant Leo suggested that she used a slide rule. She just looked blank - she'd never used one. So I suggested log tables and she admitted that she'd never used them.

Progress?
