“When we used slide rules every day back in the 1960s, we were able to send people to the moon,” Mr. Shawlee told The Journal. Speaking to The Times, he observed, “People who grow up with calculators have no number sense.”

Walter Shawlee, the Sovereign of Slide Rules, Is Dead at 73
Used by engineers for centuries, they were displaced by pocket calculators and all but forgotten until Mr. Shawlee created a subculture of obsessives and cornered the market.

Ironically, "sliderules" have become a fashion accessory and are often more expensive than "flight computers," despite the fact that a flight computer includes a circular sliderule..

Old SF is so fascinating. So many things we still don't have, but almost no grasp on what would happen with computers.
All the way back to people navigating spaceships using sliderules for orbital mechanics.

1971 I was a freshman bio major at UC Irvine. Hewlett-Packard had just released the HP35 & HP45 calculators priced at $350 and $450, respectively. Because they were so expensive (tuition was $207 per quarter; housing was $1700 for the year) the U banned them for exams. Only sliderules were allowed.
