Several calculators are now available that do computations in fractional form as well as in decimal form. Some of these automatically give results in simplest terms. If you have access to such a calculator, discuss how it might be used in teaching fractions and especially fraction computation. If such calculators become commonplace, should we continue to teach fraction computation?(300 words or more)

There are now several calculators available that can perform computations in both fractional and decimal form. Some of these automatically produce results in the most basic terms. If you have access to such a calculator, talk about how it could be used to teach fractions, particularly fraction computation. Should we continue to teach fraction computation if such calculators become commonplace? (at least 300 words)
