Why should I pay 150 EUR for a calculator with a tiny screen, when I can get a perfectly good tablet with a 10 inch screen for around 200 EUR. It does not make any sense.

In Germany, education is a matter of the states, not the country. In North Rhine-Westphalia the need for calculators in school was abandond with a similar reason a few years ago.
I don't think that calculators in school are good for their acceptance, like other mandatory tools students hate them more than they want them.

But I hope that quality calculators will be around for a long time. I think, it would be funny if they become the Rolex of engineers.
