Great Inventions: The Calculator Watch

Number eight on the list of greatest inventions since the dawn of time is the calculator watch. This item narrowly edged out the Nintendo Power Glove for the eighth place spot.

Historians and nerds alike agree that the calculator watch deserves a spot on the list due to it's unprecedented functionality; it can keep time and perform basic arithmetic. There are many different makes and models of calculator watches, including this one, which features a built in ruler!

The calculator watch first came into prominence during the 1980s and it's popularity has not stopped growing since. Many twenty-first century businessmen are smashing their Blackberry, iPhone, and Gameboy smart phones under the tires of their automobiles and are instead using calculator watches to do business.

As it turns out, according to YOUTUBE, the calculator, or caluclatior as it is called in Japan, is in danger of being replaced by the Abacus. Maybe by the time I get to the number one invention in history, the abacus watch will finally be out and I'll be able to write about it.

See you next time, for invention number seven!
