    It's amazing how Archimedes discovered PI without a computer. Today we can't work without a screen in front of our face.

      Too true, unfortunately,  I'm amazed at kids being allowed to use devices in school to do their math for them these days.  We weren't even allowed to use a calculator.

        We were only allowed to use slide rules -- which of course, most everyone had no idea how to use.
