Technology running amuck:
Whenever I
buy something and look at my computer generated sales receipt, I’ll be the
first to admit I don’t have any idea what I’m looking at. There’s a whole bunch
of numbers on the left side and numbers on the right side. For every group of
numbers on the left side there are obvious dollar amounts on the right side.
Then there is a total on the right side and a tax below the total, which
creates a need for another total. I believe that last total to be a total-total.
The total-total always seems to my untrained eye, to be excessive. My question
is, when the computer comes to the total-total does it see that the amount has
changed and update the total-total with a new amount, which would be a tax-tax
and then another new amount, as the tax is compounded-compounded? If any of you understand what I just wrote, please explain it to me.
