"Most of math can now be done by a computer or a calculator."
Sure... I recall how a guy like that was presenting me my tuition bill... He looked at the computer screen (a couple of numbers in $200-s and three more two-digit numbers), added them on his calculator, and proudly gave me the resulting $700+ bill. I was speechless, so I just muttered something, left and came back another day to pay the bill...
Oh, and the guy had (of course!) a BA diploma proudly displaysed on the wall of his cubicle! Grrr!
If only all of THEM would carry suitcases or mowing the grass! Lots of'em are calculating your bills or doing other (rather important for your life) stuff. :(
