Jon Huntsman, Sr.

I never have used computers or calculators. I've always been able to figure out in my head, far before my opposition has, in negotiating for acquisitions, where we need to be and where the numbers are and how we could get the best sight of the bargain, without having to resort to accountants or assistants or financial experts.

American Philanthropist

David Lammy

Parents' evenings were a big event in our social calendar and school reports were taken very seriously; 'C' was not a grade my mother recognised. Her favourite shop was WH Smith, where every week there would be a new book or pen or calculator to buy. But most importantly, she was my best friend.

British Politician

Hal Sparks

People think that the arts are optional and they aren't. They teach a level of emotional depth that's equally important to mathematic skill. You can replace some math skills with a calculator if you know how to operate the thing, but there's no calculator for human interaction.

American Actor

Marc Jacobs

We don't design by calculator or by demographics or anything like that. We really are a group of creative, sensitive people. We have our charmed little world where we get to make things. We're really lucky.

American Designer

Steve Wozniak

I sold my most valuable possession, but I knew that because I worked at Hewlett Packard, I could buy the next model calculator the very next month for a lower price than I sold the older one for!

American Businessman

Edmund Burke

But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished forever.

Irish Statesman

Keith Barry

I can do lightning mathematics quicker than somebody can do them on a calculator.

Irish Entertainer

David Neeleman

I'm always crunching numbers, so my calculator watch is a must.

Brazilian Businessman

Paul Valery

A businessman is a hybrid of a dancer and a calculator.

American Philosopher

Calculators come in different types for specific tasks like scientific or financial calculations.

Varied Types

Some simple calculators may be manual, like an abacus, and not require electricity.

Not Always Electronic

Calculators can range from pocket-sized portables to larger desktop models.

Size Matters

Remember that a 'calculator' in business refers to a person who calculates, not a machine.

Person, Not Device

Describing someone as a 'calculator' can suggest they're scheming or cunning, watch the context.

Not Always Complimentary

A 'calculator' in a business context often implies strong analytical skills and financial acumen.

Business Acumen

Calculator apps can handle more than numbers, like converting units or calculating dates.

Not Just Numbers

Many calculator apps are free and easily downloadable on phones and computers.

Free Applications

Calculator apps make your smartphone as powerful as a handheld calculator.

Handheld Convenience

 Now, ask yourself about computation. Is that absolute, like force and mass and gravitational attraction? Or is it observer-relative? Well, some computations are intrinsic. I add two plus two to get four. That's going on no matter what anybody thinks. But when I haul out my pocket calculator
