Nostalgia

Cloth covered cables are still made today, not used much because of the high cost but perfectly safe. They are useful for period style lamps where vinyl cables would look like nasty cheap plastic.

It's interesting--although not surprising--how calculators went from expensive tools to every day objects in a relatively short time...

One memory: how horrified my mother was when I admitted that I was using a calculator for my homework in high school. She was perhaps a bit more accepting when I told her the teacher actively encouraged them. Rationally, by the time you reach alegebra, you know enough about basic arithemetic that you don't need to go on doing it manually.

Using calculators was considered cheating. I got 2 detentions and was warned if caught again I would receive 6 strokes of the cane.

When I was in highschool(a long time ago .lol.) Using calculators was allowed on some homework, but not on tests.

As far as I can recall, once calculators were allowed, they were allowed period in my classes for both homework and tests. One of my 9th grade algebra teachers actually even had loaner calculators available for students to borrow during tests.

A girl in junior high collected the "spoons" from everyone several times. She cut out the middle parts and used the ends as tiles on roofs in a little model village she made for an art fair. As I recall she got an award for creativity.

There was a big controversy over that at a high school near where I went to university. One science teacher allowed only arithmetic calculators, another allowed none at all, and others lined up behind them. What blew people's minds was that the math department teachers were in agreement that every student should have, and use, a good calculator, for homework and exams (though not for bi-weekly quizzes).
 
Remember when treasure trails were also called crab ladders? Not any more now that everyone shaves their pubes.

Bring back pubic lice!!!
