Calculator Is Broken 💔

That Texas Instruments calculator showing 10+10*2=30 is the mathematical equivalent of finding contamination in your control sample. The calculator isn't broken—it's just following order of operations (PEMDAS) where multiplication happens before addition. The correct answer is 30, not 40. It's like telling a grad student to "heat the solution then add the catalyst" and they add the catalyst first because they didn't read the protocol properly. Classic operator error masquerading as technology failure.

The Real Tech War

While everyone obsesses over Apple vs Android, the real tech war happens in high school math classes. Texas Instruments has maintained its calculator monopoly with the same 1990s technology at premium prices, while Casio gets obliterated despite offering comparable functions at half the cost. The train collision metaphor is painfully accurate - TI calculators are basically ancient technology that somehow costs more than a month of streaming services. Engineers still using their TI-84 from 2005 know exactly what I'm talking about.
