Childhood Toy



This 1978 Casio calculator has been with my family for over 20 years. I remember playing with it when I was kid. I was surprised it is still with us when I saw it in the house recently. Amazingly it still works! ^^;

It runs on two AA batteries with an on/off switch at the side. The display is made up of nine green LEDs which mean you can do calculations in the dark. Aren't that cool?

If anyone is wondering will playing with the calculator at a young age makes one good with maths. I’m sorry to say it didn’t work for me. I’m terrible at maths. lol.

Apart from this calculator, the other home appliance in my house that deserves a long service medal is our refrigerator. It is also over two decades old and still in working condition. My previous PC was 7 years old when I throw it away early this year.

How about you guys and girls, what is the oldest appliance in your house?
