An instrumental gadget: The first handheld calculator is up for auction

Calculators are no big deal these days. Basic models sell for a few bucks and every modern smartphone comes with a free calculator app. But it wasn’t always this way. Basic calculations used to take large amounts of computer power. Finally, a company in Texas took advantage of integrated circuit technology to make the world’s first handheld calculator: the Texas Instruments Cal-Tech. 

A design like this would cost the equivalent of $900 back in 1971. But you won't believe how much this groundbreaking machine will sell for when it goes to auction in November. It’s expected to fetch at least $30,000 due to its importance and rarity. That’s quite the calculation! The early history of computer tech is fascinating.
