Calculators and how they are used to this day

My opinion on calculators is I don't think they are very necessary to this day. I think this because you should know your multiplication and division at this grade. I don't mind if calculators are used to double check answers. However, they shouldn't be used to check the answer first. If your at the grocery store and you need to know the better "deal". You should be able to use the correct strategy not your calculator. However, if it is very difficult , you would use your calculator.

I am trying not to use my calculator very much now,I am trying to use my own knowledge. I feel that technology is catching up and that you should use calculators smart. This is my personal preferences on calculators.
