You Don't Use Tape?

I work in Accounting.

A few days ago an IT person was at my cubicle to check things. His primary function is the "software". He "used" to be in accounting himself it turns out.

He glanced at my calculator, saw the new roll of tape in it and said, "You still use tape"? In my head I was totally perplexed. While I don't use tape a lot, I do use it occasionally. Whenever I need too.

He soon left but I have been thinking about that comment ever since. I know technology has passed me by but what do people do if they don't use tape when needing to work and rework numbers that don't add up?

Is there something the new generation has found? (This guy did not look that young so maybe it was his "Software" knowledge that caused him to say this)?

Whatever it is, I'm still trying to understand what I've obviously missed in the modern age.

Now I'll crawl into my cave and wait for the sun to come up so I'll know the time!
