When I was growing up in the 30s and 40s in Chicago, we had radios, refrigerator, and landline phone (but only one). After the war we bought a phonograph and changed the furnace fuel from coal to oil.
Now we have TVs, computers, cell phones, microwaves, etc.

I started teaching in 1965, and I calculated all students' grades by hand -- paper and pencil math.
In 1979, I bought my first hand-held calculator, which worked only with the basic four types of calculation: +, -, x, and รท
Suddenly, I could calculate and submit quarter and semester grades faster, but weighting grades was not part of how I could calculate yet.
In 1988, I got my first computer. This computer had two 5.25" floppy drives, but no Windows! I learned how to write DOS commands and did OK. However, once I found a gradebook program that would run on my computer, life was much better as a teacher because I could start weighting grades, and the program would do the calculating! Life was wonderful, in my opinion, because I could always let my students and their parents know exactly what their current grades were in my classes.
I retired in 2002 from teaching English in high school. Because of calculators and computers, I was able to spend less time on actual grade calculations and more time teaching.
