You have to think Mag, what if kids were taking photos of the test to send to their friends so they can get the answers really quick if they had the next class. Luckily for me, my tests aren't multiple choice or true/false. I ask them to actually develop an essay based on evidence that showcases their point of view. Now they could still cheat by googling up the concepts or telling them what to write, but that's where anti-plagiarism software comes in handy.

So easy to rewrite things expertly to make them sound like your own thoughts lol That's where I can just state that I'm going to be as vigilant as humanly possible, but I'm probably not going to catch every instance. That being said, if a student is caught with a cell phone out during a test, they get a zero and no chance of making it up.

-having my imagination go wild reading dinosaur books
-combing for hundreds of hours over encyclopedias trying to find information about a key research topic
I definitely don't wish that ***on anyone. I've learned more off sites like wikipedia than I ever learned in librarys lol

If you're gonna quote Futurama, at least get the quotes right D:
its 'how about these cookies, sugar?'
:p sorry, running on little sleep and didn't feel like googling the 2nd one.
edit: fixed
If we have to quibble, the first quote is "Ohhh...a lesson in not-changing history from Mr. I'm-My-Own-Grandpa". ^_- (It references that old song, covered by Ray Stevens, et al.) :p
EDIT: Oops, got paged anyhow...too slow!

I would never buy a contract phone here, it's way more expensive. Better to buy it without one and use Comviq or something, prepaid stuff. You get free calls and texts to anyone with Comviq for at least a month and most young people use it because of that so you keep the cost down a lot.

Sadly with people wanting the brand new and improved items, some places that sell used iPods and iPhones just give away like the iPhone 3G and probably last gen iPhones are around $100-$200.
Funny thing is seeing my friends letting their kids play on older computers for games and they are Pentium 4 computers. To this generation that's even old school.
Except my one friend that found a 486dx2 in this closet..
I played the first few years of 11 on Pentium 4 so that is pretty old school

sad thing is people will pay full price for those shitty phones...
I knew someone who ran out and got like 12 of the new (at the time it was the 5) for full price... I swear :/

Kids react to old computers
YouTube Video Placeholder Some of the kids sound like they need slapped, and the one "fact" is wrong, Xerox had the first gui, not Apple.
Living during these times of advancement, you have to think about what technology advancements have happened in the last 20 to 30 years..
Going from Atari 2600 to Nintendo to Playstation 4.
Timex Sinclair to Commodore 64 to Intel i7.
Vinyl records to cassette tapes to Cds.
VHS/BETA to VCD to DVDs to Blu-ray.
I still remember the days of having a pager....you couldn't even send texts, just numbers.. forgot cds to audio file
also forgot laser disc :P

Not to mention iphones suck.

This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
