I didn't suggest it reduced education on tasks that the calculator automated, I just don't think it reduced the desire of society in general to educate kids in maths. We now just have a blended approach of learning enough of the basics to understand why a calculator is valuable, and in some cases more advanced maths that students are able to tackle because of the availability of calculators. My point is that we decided as a society that we couldn't stop teaching kids maths just because calculators exist.
