Back in the day I used to sport my HP 48GX, but by the love of god I just can’t figure why would anybody cling to older devices having a regular calculator on your phone or having access to wolfram alpha on it.

Sometimes the calculator is nice because it keeps you from losing hours down a wolfram alpha or Wikipedia hole! Good for focused work

Because 99.9% of my calculations at work don't require anything nearly as complex as Wolfram Alpha, and the ergonomics of a calculator are leagues beyond that of a software calculator on a phone or computer.
