Graphing Calculators are addictive...

Postby Asmi-chan » Wed Dec 10, 2003 5:21 pm

Okay, I got a TI-83 Plus calculator for Algebra this year, and ever since, I have been addicted. But it's so beautiful!

And that was before one of my classmates made the mistake of showing me some basics for programming. It's like I've discovered a whole new world! But's it's really sad, too... People in class will ask me, 'oh, you must have some really cool games on there,' and my reply is usual something like, 'No, I don't have any games.' And then they think I'm a total geek, so nothing else is new. Actually, I'm trying to figure out how to make my own games... An RPG would be fun...

But, one thing that kinda has me in a pickle (dill, not sweet), is the GDB, Graphics Database what-evers. I'm basically wondering what exactly they are, how to use them, how they differ from regular Pictures, that kind of thing. I still have the manual, but it's still a tad bit confusing. :?:

I didn't think you could put games on it. They're useful things anyways (especially for an engineer), although I've always used the Casio fx-6300G, and not any of the TI's.
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Neil Postman
(The End of Education)

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge
