19．Recently we asked how you feel about calculators in school．We heard from about thirty people in twelve countries，including a large number of Chinese．For example，Turbo Zhang writes，"My brain is rusting （生銹）．Why？Because I use calculators everywhere，on my mobile phone，on my computer，etc．New technology makes us use everything except our brain．"Yes，calculators can provide us with an answer，but we may not understand it completely．Just as a student at an architectural and engineering college in China，Zhao Jingtao，says，using a calculator is"a kind of laziness"．
Critics of using calculators in school，at least until high school or university，outnumbered supporters two to one．In their opinion，calculators affect badly the thinking ways of students because they don't need to make an effort to get a result．They should work out problems with some kind of pain without computers．Then they may come to appreciate the power of these sophisticated （精密的）machines．Also，it is good to use your brain because calculators are not always available．Heroin，a math teacher in Kurdistan--Iraq，says good math skills help in life．So he believes in solving problems with a pencil until high school．
But Wenbo from China says calculators reduce careless mistakes．When they were young they couldn't use calculators．But when entering high school，they have to solve a lot of math problems．They have to use a calculator．It makes their homework easier．So he insists，"The hand-held calculators has been important in my studies and even in my life．"
And the education expert，Barnabas Nyaaba in Ghana，advises that"as we enjoy the use of calculators，let's be careful so that it does not have any bad effects on us．"

18．I graduated in 2007 from an Ivy League school with a degree in Industrial and Labor Relations．I wanted to be an entrepreneur （企業(yè)家），but I had no idea，no experience，and no clue of what was possible．So I looked for jobs that might prepare me for entrepreneurship in the future．
I attended a number of interviews，but nobody wanted to hire me．My girlfriend and parents were losing patience with me，and I was extremely unhappy．I just wanted to be a productive part of society．
After learning about Woot．com，I came up with the idea of one job a day，so I started http://www．onedayonejob．com in late May，2008 and launched it in November，2008．I first had the idea of selling daily job postings，and I instead decided to introduce recent graduates to exciting companies．
After two years the company was profitable．Three and a half years later，I finally could make enough money to cover all of my personal expenses．More importantly，I've reached hundreds of thousands of college students and helped quite a few of them do what I couldn't--get an exciting job straight out of college．
I made a lot of friends who were doing the same thing along the way．Most of them failed and eventually used their experience to get a full-time job．To make a long story short，I'm a graduate who made his own job．The added twist is that my job is helping other people with their job searches．I often get called a"job search expert"，but I'm really just an entrepreneur who uses the lessons he's learned from starting a business to teach job seekers how to improve their approaches．
