I remember using a calculator in the early 60’s that had like a hundred keys and if you put the right numbers into it it would run for hours trying to get an answer. It was totally mechanical. No digital readouts and it made noise while it was calculating.

You’re a plugger if you’ve tried to use a banana as a telephone.

You’re a plugger if you used a calculator. Or worked on a CRT.

It seems more likely that a plugger would try to use a calculator as a TV remote.

Do people still use remotes? My TV is voice-activated: my voice, not others.

As if there aren’t enough commercials already, advertisers arranged to sneak a Multiply symbol on TV remotes.

I thought you were a Plugger if you had to have your eight year old grandson show you how to use the remote for your new Smart TV.

This Plugger uses the TV remote as a cordless phone.

There’s three remotes by the TV: TV, DVD, sound system. Plus, the Win7 computer. I haven’t watched anything in about three years, don’t miss it.

I use my smart phone as a remote control, so that calculator function is there when I need it.

And our math teachers used to tell us “you won’t always have a calculator with you!”

Guess we showed them!
