I think it is important because you need to know it when you get older.
That is important because: 1) The order in which operations are carried out can affect the result. 2) You can use parentheses to specify an order, but parentheses are often omitted for simplicity. In this case, you must know how to interpret an expression correctly.
It's not important at all, unless for some reason you want to end up with the correct answer. If you do the operations in a different order, the result will be wrong.
The order of operations is very VERY important and is a crucial piece of algebra. If you do now know the order of operations (P.E.M.D.A.S.), you will more than likely get every equation that has more than one processes in it, wrong. If you need clarification, feel free to ask :). xoxo blahitsgenaa
Its only important if you want the right answer. If the wrong answer will suffice, than any order will do.

It means that the calculator can follow the order of operations and do the order of operations for you but, you need to know how to do them on your own too.
I want to know [what is the order of operations in math?]

You take the caca out the rectum and drop the caca in the toilet. That is the order of operations.
If you change the order of operations, you will get a different result. The person who wrote the expression had a specific order of operations in mind (using generally-accepted rules), so arbitrarily using some other order of operations is, quite simply, wrong.
Its only important if you want the right answer. If the wrong answer will suffice, than any order will do.
So if given the equation x = 4 * 3 / 2 + 4 - 8 * 62 everyone will know how to interpret it and get the same answer
You use order of operations in equations that have more than one type of operation going on (for example, an equation with parenthesis, addition, and multiplication). You would use order of operations in equations like that so you know which operation to do first.
Simple answer - people would get different answers. When it comes to Arithmetic, there is just one correct answer and that comes by following the correct order of operations :-)
