Never understood too how they could force us to spend $100 on a calculator back when I was in high school until I learned it was all a monopoly when I'm all grown up. 😅
They taught me how to use ti basic, which helped me learn visual basic, which in turn helps me with the vba I use at the office on a regular basis. So that was neat. I bought a Casio for college though since my probably 10 year old ti83 was dying at that point and I was square in my poor, starving, college student budget phase of my life.
Haha! What a story! That's amazing how those ti calculators lasted a lifetime before! Wonder if they're still made like that. 😅. Thanks for the support Brian. Be sure to subscribe for new updates every Wednesday if you enjoy content like this.
I’m not sure if graphing calculators will go away any time soon. Even if TI falls, the other brands will come and take its place. In testing environments, you obviously can’t have access to a calculator that does the problem for you, and you can’t use a phone/computer without some sort of lockdown browser. While desmos is a good alternative for at home work, graphing calculators are a good general solution that many people are already used to
@@companyinsight i also got a ti nspire cx ii cas recently and i got doom, bloxorz, crafti and a counterstrike doom wad (also dino game that runs like poo poo and uno that crashes the calc)
My TI-89 is my best bud but then again, I'm an engineer. Once you get to really high level math/science (i.e. when they let you use a calculator again), the thing is a BEAST. Algebra, calc, linear algebra... That's just the beginning. You can use it to solve all kinds of super ugly equations and even some ODEs. Like why should I go through the struggle of finding the limits of integration that maximize the total power of a useful signal in an AWGN channel while also suppressing the total power of the channel delays, which are defined by an exponential probability distribution function? Psych I do not have to my TI-89 does it for me.
I started out with a TI-83 but after upgrading to a TI-89 back in high school I never went back. It made everything SOOOO easy. Totally get what you mean.
You can buy the newer Casio 9750Giii for only around $45. Does basically everything the $130 TI-84CE does. The only thing is the Casio doesn’t have a color screen which isn’t essential for math anyway. There is also very little learning curve with the Casio. It is fairly easy to follow along when the teachers are explaining the TI-84CE. So save a $100 and buy the Casio.
That is personal. I find TI easier to use, if you don't rememeber the "path" there is a way to solve it. With Casio I have always had problems in remembering the "algorithms" I need to do to get the solution. CG50 is s great Graph calc anyway, thats why I bought it instead of the TI84 😆. But my scientific calc is the ti 30x PRO, which is better than than 991 ex, for my personal use (stats and tables)
@@MrMarcec85 One advantage of the CG50 is it is around $50 cheaper than the 84. However, the 84 has literally thousands of programs you can download from the internet. Casio has some but not nearly as many. If the 84 can’t do it with its built in functionality, there is a program on the internet that will make it possible.
Despite considering awkward the total lack of innovation and high costs of TI graphing calculators, I think that a "proper tool", leaving the cell phone in the pocket for some hours, is a good thing and "set" the mind of the learner avoiding distractions (especially teenagers). I try to never use the calculator of the phone too, and use a Ti108 (well, my casio model) if I have to do some check on recipes or stuff like that. Desmos is a great tool by the way, if I had a tablet specifically built to do maths or other serious tasks, I would use it much more.
There was an Texas factory in my city in Brazil (Campinas-SP) from the 70's to the end of the 80's, every classic line was manufactured from the simplest to the top scientific ones like the TI-58/59. When they closed the factory, the office continued to import the new graphing calculators, however, if in the 70s and 80s TI was very common in brazilian homes, in the 90s the supremacy of HP was absolute (mainly the HP48G). I have a large collection of TI calculators, most of which I acquired during my travels around the country, it's funny to buy one thousands of kilometres from your house and read on the back "Made in Campinas-SP"

These calculators aren't even good. They have a convoluted and inefficient user interface, are finicky when it comes to inputs, underpowered, overpriced, and lack basic calculation features.
How are these consider outdated? Remember, phones aren’t allowed in class and apps are wonky. Graphing calculators are still useful and can be fun to use.
It's definitely nice to touch a physical button. One of the reasons I stuck around with Blackberry for such a long time. Thanks for the support Zolar. Be sure to subscribe for new updates every Wed if you enjoy content like this.

I remember those calculator. I never understood why they were so expensive and we couldn't even use them on exams in my High School.

@@companyinsight 100% It really is.
I never actually owned a Texas instruments calculator. I used a Casio instead.
Welcome back! Did you go to school in the US? It would be tough to use one bc the teachers always taught with TI

Oh my God, my father have one of this calculator, and he gave me this precious stuff for my school!
Ti graphing calculator are very well made. The old ones were made in Taiwan. Not sure these days anymore. 😀

person: *Why do you have a ti 84 plus, a voyage 200 and a ti 89 titanium?*
me: I just think they're neat
They will be collectibles someday. Hope you enjoyed the video. Be sure to subscribe for new updates every Wed. 🚀

i would rather keep these calculators around because you can get games on them >:D
