We have Grammarly, for the typing impaired (your, you’re and the such) we have voice recognition and the lot. It’s incredible what school districts -with money- can provide to students. And don’t get me started with how technology has helped plagiarism and cheating. And this in the last five years, so don’t feel too out of touch.<br /><br />XoXo Sixpence Notthewiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11230453585589265578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-76234375322997995632019-06-13T07:59:43.851-04:002019-06-13T07:59:43.851-04:00Computers i high school?

Home compute...OMG! Talk about age dating. Sheesh! <br />Home computers didn't come on sale for almost 25 years after I graduated. I think that was like 50 years after the dinosaurs died off and then color was invented. Yeah, I remember it like only yesterday.Leannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313664441343901006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-167118023573797856.post-671042442937811782019-06-13T00:38:54.438-04:002019-06-13T00:38:54.438-04:00We were still taking typing in high school and we ...We were still taking typing in high school and we weren't allowed to use calculators.
