Ask any kid under the age of 35 to multiply 6X9 in his head. If calculators all fail at the same time the world is fucked.

It's proof of Isaac Asimov's short story called 'The Question' I think. Everyone feared a person who could do math in his head as he must be evil. No one else could.
I've even seen bankers go to a calculator for some quick easy calculations. Scarey!!
It freaks out my Financial Avdvisor when I do calculations in my head faster than he does on his calculator. 
Sad really.
