One of the things that Americans take pride in is the way that the country and its people are technologically advanced when compared to the rest of the world. Many of us have smartphones, tablets, computers, cars, and other advanced gadgets and gizmos that keep us occupied and often informed. This does not, however, translate very well in the political arena. A year ago, most would have thought that there was no way that California could possibly vote against Proposition 37.

Every model year brings out new gadgets and gizmos that are designed to enhance, adapt, and often-times engage with other technologies that we carry with us. Tablets are used as owners’ manuals. MP3 players have become our stereos. Speakers and mics interact with our phones for hands-free driving. These are the common examples. Today’s cars can do so much more.

However, schools have caught on and cut out mobile devices in classrooms, but calculators? Oh no, calculators still get an A+ from school officials and here comes the clever part. …
