Last year, I was telling my students about my calculator that I had bought when I was in 7th Grade. I was illustrating a point that buying a scientific calculator was a good investment because this calculator had seen me through middle school, high school, and even college. I still use it sometimes when I grade. Well, when I brought up this calculator in class, my students, one in particular, let's call him Billy, wanted to see my "30 year old calculator". I tried to find it, but I had misplaced it during my move. I looked all over my house and my parents house throughout the year for this "30 year calculator". By the end of the year, this "mythical" calculator, according to Billy, had aged 10 years and was now 4o years old and I still hadn't found it. Well, I found it tonight and it was in a very logical place. I tested it and it works, not bad for forty years old! I just hope Billy comes to visit so I can show him this technological artifact. (My, I have missed this fine calculator.)
