I had one of the original ViewMasters (the kind with the paper disk with the film images). I wonder how these new ones work.

At least i think it was a viewmaster i had...

EDIT: Fixed image links but now the images are borked. 
Oh well.

What even are all those adapters in that picture...?

Whats funny is that Enders game is Sophomore reading. I read the book a year or so before, but my English teacher went into such depth it was like i hadn't read the book at all the first time.

Ugh, I hated how some teachers made people restart their exam from scratch or gave a score of zero if our handwriting was considered bad to them. >.<

EDIT: THat or bank/government/other forms to fill that were paper-based. By grade 2 we got used to write with our letters all tied together (not sure of the word in English) rather than separate from each others, but those documents required us to write using separate letters, including lowercase. This was so slow that I'm glad most stuff is done via computers now. >.<

Cursive? Blech. I remember having learn that in 3rd grade and we had to use it for the entirety of 3rd and 4th grade lest you be marked down.

detection of handwritings suck... Dont know if its my handwriting or yjust the computers... but mine never gets detected properly
Had such systems in school and I basically couldnt use them as they didnt work for me :/

I had to start writing in all caps so even the teachers would recognize my writing

I can recommend the Ender's Game series (Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, Children of the Mind). Those were good although after E.G. the series took a turn toward more philosophical concepts.

Karl Schroeder's Lockstep was also a good read, may be a bit soft tho.

And of course Clarke's Space Odyssey books (2001, 2010, 2100, 3001) Those were great.

Not so much Sci-fi but if you have any interest in 80s culture and/or video games Ready Player One by Earnest Cline was great.
(Lots of 80s references though. Even my dad didn't recognize all of them.)
