As far as using a tablet, one of the biggest thing that I love is being able to take math notes on my computer, emailing them to my tutor from off campus, and seeing what I did wrong. I am constantly using Office's pen capabilities to write notes on documents and spread sheets sent from my mother for double checking. And a hand written email? There's nothing nicer to send.
Tablets aren't for everyone, but everyone that I've talked to was jealous of being able to just write on the screen.
Perhaps they could use this new knowledge, somehow, to develop an apple without a protein that causes people to have allergic reactions.
I have anaphalactic reactions from just apple juice, never mind eating an apple. From the small amounts of research that I have done, there are people who are allergic to apples as well. Perhaps they could GE a variety of apples that would be safe for us?
I have anxiety just stepping into a class room, so tests are hell. One way that I've managed to controll it is to suck on fruity cough drops (the pectin type), and play with silly putty during the test. It works like a stress ball, and the cough drops are just another thing to play with. If the teachers allow it (ask on the first day) I listen to my iPod. I listen to the same genres as when I do homework. Tecno for coding, rock for math, jazz for English. It helps me get into the right frame of mind, and music has always been a calming thing for me.
Sure, computers from best buy may not be the best thing, but for my mother it was the best way for her to pick out a computer. She really needed to see how she could type on a notebook keyboard before she could decide. She has arthritis in her hands, and being able to try out a Sony Vaio, and see that she liked the keys better than the Tosheba meant a lot to her. I am taking on the responsibility of all the repairs and such, but without that hands on experience, she wouldn't have ever bought a notebook.
I wouldn't ever recommend her taking her new computer to Geek Squad, but in a fix, if I wasn't around, it's better than nothing, and ending up with a very expensive paperweight.
