Howdy,

He may have a good point.

This goes back many years (it shows how old I am!) but I had a discussion with a colleague when pocket calculators first came out (LED display and all----I wished I could afford an HP-48 but my colleague and I put our money together and shared a TI SL-10) about their use in Elementary and High Schools. He claimed that it will make learning math much easier while I believed that it would be used as a substitute for knowledge and understanding and hamper the learning of math. I'll leave it up to you folks to decide for yourself which one of us was correct.

I also remember the headaches I got when first surfing the WEB following interesting links until I had no idea how I got where I was and never did find the information that originally started the search.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
