Remember When: Adding MachinesBefore computers were standard office
equipment, many bookkeepers and bank clerksused adding machines to quickly add large setsof numbers and complete simple calculations.While versions of these devices were used bymathematicians as far back as the 17th century,the invention of 10-key models that printed outresults made the portable machine an officefixture by the 1950s.
Step Out Into NatureWalking is a recommended form of exercise, but taking
your steps outside can benefit your mind as well asyour body. Researchers say that a walk in a park or
other natural surroundings appears to affect the part ofthe brain that controls brooding.
