That seems like a more recent development. I think at least another generation and a half got in before that

    Yeah, I (a millennial) experienced the no calculator era, but I have no recollection of people talking about needing to be good at math to use a computer.

    But, I fell like that would be more accurate in the 80s and early 90s when PCs were just becoming a thing.

    I certainly remember the needing to be good at math to get into computers. Same with needing to be good at math to get into science. Let me tell you, the majority of scientists I work with are dogshit at math.
