It’s an issue indeed! The growth of technology made us think less. Why should we use our brain if we have smart gadgets to do this job for us? To be honest I’m not a math genius, even not remotely close, so I often use calculator when I need to calculate something. Without it I feel helpless. But it’s just because at school no teacher explained me math in a normal way. Only Assignment Expert helped me to keep on track with my algebra classes. I think it’s a core of the problem. Government should think of ways to encourage youth to study math.
