Math Can Be So Much Fun
Do you think that math is fun? Most people don’t. It is a fact that today mathematical skills are worse than they have ever been througout history. The reason is that computers are doing the bulk of the work for us.
You don’t have to even add up your groceries you buy in the supermarket, because the cashier and her computer is doing for you. And what person is willing to do it by himself, if he will later experience his results are wrong and a computer can do it in a much shorter time?
We even use a spreadsheet at home to manage our personal or business budget, simply for the ease of use of a spreadsheet. It seems as if there is no more need of adding numbers to our head. However, technology has one pitfall: we as a nation hardly have a feel for numbers at all anymore.
The current financial crisis a perfect example that figures lie and liars figure, and most people don’t even know what the figures were supposed to mean in the first place. It is time to learn math again or at least teach our children so that they will be able to deal with an economic environment that will likely be very different than ours.
