Literally thousands of artists, engineers and scientists over the years: Look at all of these awesome tools we made to help artists make more art more quickly and more easily! Now art is much more accessible to everyone!

Art snobs: If you use anything more than a pencil and ink and these specific paints and brushes you’re cheating and not a real artist. Especially if you draw digitally. That’s double cheating.

I was always told in math class that I wouldn’t be able to carry a calculator with me everywhere I went.

I’m writing this from my smartphone.

Middle school teach said they’ll never let us use out calculators. 

if we didn’t have our calculator with us in high school, our math teach would tell us to go to our lockers and get them.

any job that requires math you can bet your arse the lead/boss will tell you to plug those numbers into a calculator to make sure you have it right

When i was in 6th grade, we were just starting to learn long division and multiplication. The teacher gave the “they wont let you use calculators when youre older” speech and i vividly remember this one girl asking “who?”
the teachers response was teachers in highschool and college. when asked why she said because you wont have a calculator all the time. when the girl asked why we wouldnt the teacher got tired of the questions and sent the girl out of the class until she finished telling us what the assignment was.

i dont remember where this story was going but the moral was that there is no good reason why we cant use the tools that were made specifically to make the tasks easier
