What the!!!

It was recomended that my teenage son get a graphing calculator for school. What is up with that? It's not just the fact that they cost $70 to 100$ even more for a good one. But you have to be a friggin engeneer at Nasa to run the damn thing. Okay so I might be a teckno retard, but what every happened to those nice little simple, and more importantly cheep calculators that had on, off, memory and the number keys. And what do they need such a complicated thing for anyway aren't they suppose to use there brain. "You barely past Basic Math, so what would you know" was the comment I got from the teenager. "Hey I past and using my own brilliant mind I might add" "oh shizzel aka dizzel" he says. "Huh" I say "Thats Snoop Dog mom you have no clue". "I think that Snoop Dog road the little bus to school" I said......All this technology and people who speak in riddles is hurting my head I feel like the girl in the song "1985" by Bowling for Soup, except I dont wear a leather mini made of snake skin,.....Please make it stop!
