SingleTasker Saturday is a semi-regular feature here at The Simple Llama. I feature an item that does, well, just a single task. These items go against everything I believe in, and are meant for everyone’s amusement. I don’t intend to purchase any of the SingleTaskers, and I don’t recommend that you do either.
Normally on SingleTasker Saturdays, I feature an absurd product. An item that does just a single, very specific thing; something that doesn’t need a special item all for itself.
Today, I’m featuring an item that performs just a single function – but it’s an extremely common function. That item, of course, is the calculator.
We need to perform basic calculations all the time. Why, then, do I call the calculator a SingleTasker? Look around right now. There’s a very high chance that, within arm’s reach, there’s another item that can handle all your computing needs.
Computers and cell phones render the calculator obselete.
Between computers being everywhere, and nearly every cell phone having a calculator built right in, why do we need standalone calculators?
