Save the earth, one solar powered calculator at a time
There’s just something wrong about the fact that solar powered calculators do not have an off button. Even though it’s been this way for the several years that I’ve owned my Texas Instruments BA-35 Solar, I still check occasionally, just on the off chance that I’ve missed it all of these years. When I’m unable to turn it off I somehow feel like I’m wasting the sun’s energy. Someday someone is going to find out that the combined heat from all of the solar powered calculators on the earth was the tipping point that kicked off the whole global warming situation. Help save the earth, turn your solar powered calculator face-down when you’re not using it.
I wonder why they haven’t created a solar powered TV remote control yet? Sure, it’d still have to use batteries at night, but if we can harness the power of the sun to calculate the square root of pi, then why can’t we figure out how to use it to flip to the Daily Show?
