On the positive side, it might improve math skills in America if we have to deal with large numbers on a daily basis.
Most calculators people use as a crutch for things they normally should be able to handle can’t be used to handle those extra 0’s…
And for those that go purchase a calculator that can handle those extra zeros, it would require them to understand scientific notation and the decimal point.
Can you imagine what dinner/lunch will be like moving forward?….seeing people try to calculate 15 percent on 100000000000000 ?
