If Young Abe Lincoln Had Lived Today....

[Liz Rosenthal]

Interesting story about my friend's son, Sean, the bookworm/writer. Recently, he took a final exam in his math class. All students were expected to bring their calculators, but Sean forgot his. So he did what no one else in the class did - figured out everything the old-fashioned way. But the reward for his efforts was a slightly less excellent grade than he would have gotten had he remembered the calculator. I think he should have gotten extra credit for doing all the math problems without any high-tech assistance!

But back to Lincoln. I agree that the idea of him texting or just printing any of his wonderful words is awful to think about.
