The calculator started out as a machine that took up the space of an entire wall. It performed extremely basic functions and when the use of the microchip was around, the calculator changed drastically. It quickly became the size of a computer, and eventually (with new findings of the microchip) became the size they are today. Today, the basic calculators do more than the wall-sized calculator could ever do. Microchips helped the calculator become what it is today.
