Recently talking to a student of Electrical engineering in Australia I was dumbfounded when he failed to answer simple divisions like 95/2 or 80/3.
It is saddening that the newer generation is relying on calculators and phone. I remember back at my school in India I used to spend time calculating tremendously complex problems in mind. I always argued that it takes more time to fetch the calculator then come to an answer.
I have seen this everywhere petrol stations, McDonald, labour jobs where people are now relying on machines to tell them my change.
