I'm old enough to remember the slide rule but young enough to have benefitted from a great little invention from Texas Instuments. It was the pocket engineering calculator. When they first came out, engineering students lined up for blocks outside Wallmart for the privilege of forking out about $300 to own one. By the time I needed one the price had dropped to around 10 bucks. Algorithms
