You don't understand, smart phones kind of came out of nowhere. And only rich kids had them, and they broke really easily. We made fun of them.

The only way you were having a calculator in your pocket was if you hauled a ti-85 around, which no one was ever going to do.

why they never marketed a ti-85 mount for everyone's daily carry Glock 19 I'll never know

My father had a Casio watch with built-in computation capabilities in the 80s, and in the socialist state of East Germany at that, so you could definitely carry an arithmetic calculator with you anywhere!
