ABOUT YOUR WEBSITE HOST
"The Numerate Shopper" is all about "Apps", each one created to take full advantage of AI in any form of domestic expenditure, as efficiently and free of stress as possible. I am fortunate to be a one of the fast reducing number of people around today who were actually "taught" numeracy from an early age, beginning with "mental arithmetic", learning times tables by chanting them in class unison until at age 8 I could tell anyone that six trays of a half dozen eggs would give me 36 in total, without using my Abacus! Later it was the slide rule, that I had to use for complex calculations, before calculators came along. Subsequently, my 40 year career in international construction project management, which was essentially all about numbers in one form or another, resulted in a degree of personal numeracy that I since used successfully to design and market algorithmic construction tools. With the advent of AI, I can put my numeracy to much greater effect for domestic shoppers and a selection of these "Numerate Shopper" apps can be freely used, literally in any country.
