    Good thing Ruthie was nowhere to be found to add her two cents worth to the report.

    Where I work at they wonder where they would be without computers. With people and handwriting not the best typing with computers not typewriters makes it easier. If Joe’s mom had allowed more computer with internet use how much more Joe could have completed his homework assignment.

    JAD, these are repeats. All week, every week. And if Bionic Superheroes don’t have computer sin them, how does their Bionics work?

    I like how Joe changes Pennsylvania to Ohio for easier spelling.

    I’m surprised Joe came up with “I’m coming to my census.” That sounds like a Ruthie pun!

    Young (anyone under 30) people’s pathetic math skills go beyond dependence on electronics. After getting a hair cut recently, I told the clerk to add a certain tip to the bill to charge to my credit card. It was the most basic arithmetic you can imagine – typical Grade One stuff. She had NO CLUE what to do. She started punching random numbers into the cash register, trying to get it to show the correct change for her tip. Another clerk came to help – he got out a calculator, and still had trouble figuring it out! A computer won’t help you if you’re too stupid to know which buttons to push.
