In high school, my mom used a slide rule in some of her math classes. She claimed televisions were never used in any classes. Some students had access to typewriters at home to complete reports and big projects; the school also had a few typewriters. She had access to erasable typewriter paper (which I had never heard of) in college. She called it corrasable paper, a proprietary eponym from Eaton’s Corrasable Bond, which was incredibly popular in the 1950s and 60s (Eaton’s Corrasable Bond).
My experience in high school was much different. I remember using a TI-83+ calculator practice programming basic math functions to complete homework more quickly. Our classrooms had mounted televisions, and we watched Channel One News during homeroom. There was a computer lab at my school with a computer programming curriculum. I learned QBASIC but did not care to continue and learn C. My primary school computer use was in drafting class because I fell in love with drawing my freshman year and AutoCAD my junior and senior years. The technology that still influences me today was Multi Users in Middle Earth (MUME), an online text game my friends and I would play together in the computer lab during lunch. MUME taught me how to type, a skill I use much more than simple programming or designing house layouts.
