"And why do I have to learn to type? I'll never type."

My 10th grade math teacher told me the same thing.
Years later, he sold me aluminum cans to supplement his income.

Mine did too. He was right, so 10 years later I puked on his shoes one night at a bar.

Good luck using exponential notation on that. Or doing a log or natural log.

As my students are finding out, just googling it isn't enough, you have to be smart enough to tell good from bad.

Most students can't do that on a scientific calculator either :leaving:

Teachers can't look into the future,my 5th grade teacher in 1963 told me that by 2005 we would need a wheel barrow of money to buy a loaf of bread.

The Wolfram Alpha app costs $2.99 and does all that and much much much more. I would have killed to have had that in all those EE classes, especially Control Systems where solving all the roots of 7th order polynomials was something you had to do all the time. It was a real blast trying to do that during an exam on a TI-55.

If you factor in the cost of gas to get to the store, she wasn't far off.

Be honest, how many here type with one, or two fingers?

How many use spell check?

How many use a calculator?




I am one of the fastest two finger typist anyone has ever seen :yesnod:

Hey, none of that talk around here, this is where I come to get away from that. Also I had a professor who made us do those by hand. Some were easy, some were down right nasty problems

My mom was wrong, too. She told me if I didn't quit playing with it, it would fall off. Hell, it grew three sizes!
