"In third grade (late 1980s) a teacher flatly refused to accept my homework because it was “done on a computer”. This wasn’t some 1980s version of ChatGPT, either, it was a Coleco/ADAM with a daisywheel printer and a marginal word processor. It didn’t have any of the features we expect from Word or even WordPerfect. It just put characters on the screen when you typed those characters.
Me being a difficult child, I told her more or less “I did it, too bad” and let my parents know when I got home. This started a whole process that ended in the principal’s office, with the principal telling the teacher “This little boy is the first to use his computer for homework in your class. He won’t be the last one. You have to get over this.”"

Elminie,
they've also said, no new taxes. I'm not a crook. Forescore and 7 years ago.
but i mean people today have such a short attention span and even shorter recollection of actual history.

The decipherment of hieroglyphic writing was finally accomplished in the 1820s by Jean-François Champollion, with the help of the Rosetta Stone.

In high school geometry, we were making paper Rhombicosidodecahedrons, and our teacher said,”make sure you staple all flaps in the center or you’ll get
gap-osis. You girls know what I’m talking about.”

#13 The opposite is true, though; warm water will turn into ice faster than cold water.

#12 Actually is true. Cold water DOES boil faster. Scientifically proven. You can do it at home. It's because cold water molecules are starting to line up so it's easier to get to a boil than molecules that are already moving around in warm water.
