Cambodia is on fire, partly thanks to Mitr Phol the Thaib sugar giant, and the smoke travels over de Gulf.
I remember the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine spreading nuclear waste as far as Scotland. We were not alliwed to eat vegetables at the time (yeah !).
All I can tell you is that we were NOT using calculators at PENN in 1971 for math class, first year, second year, etc.
Yes, we had access to compute power, such as via the DEC 10.
But, we never used it for Math Classes.
Only for computer classes.
First time I needed a calculator was a statistics course, during summer, I took at some slouch college,...I think the name was either Ursinus College, or Uranus College.
If I am young, then I am also younger than I look.
The good thing is that, during my lifetime, the HP calculators have dropped in price by a factor of ONE-HUNDRED.
Also, my phone, with the proper app, is almost better than any calculator ever was.
The only thing I miss, or miss most, is the HP Trapezoidal-Keys.
If I could put those keys on my phone, then it would be an improvement, for me at least.
From a scientific view, they are obviously collectively slowing the earth's rotation, which would be a problem if the earth was round but seeing as that's up for debate then maybe the wind slows down. Turn them around the other way.
