Google Trends - Scientific vs. Financial Calculator

This wouldn't agree with the graph in my first post in this thread, unless à la cheapo manufacturers from China went taking bigger and bigger stakes of the calculators' market :.!

I have had several meetings with various bank people last year, mostly related to mortgage. My impression is that they use web apps, not calculators so much. If they need to explain things with a calculator, they need to scribble a lot on paper. If they use various web apps, they can get all numbers printed and give a hard copy to the customer (me).

They actually all seem to have a calculator, but it is just a cheap simple one, not a business calculator.

I am not at all surprised that there are a more growing interest in scientific than business calculators.
