In the US it's common to give students "word problems" that describe a scenario and ask them to answer a question that requires applying whatever math they're studying at the time. Students hate them and criticize the problems for being unrealistic, but I think they really just hate word problems because because they find them difficult. To me that means they need more word problems so they can actually get used to thinking about how math relates to the real world.

Ever heard of robots? You can't make the real world digital but you can certainly give computers access to the physical world.

I know it's standard for graphics to be integrated into a motherboard. Is that what you're referring to? Because I've never heard of on-CPU graphics.

People who really care about computers buy handmade artisanal transistors.

Based on what others in the thread are saying, that's already covered for free by the key fob. What they're charging for is doing it through the internet.

Since you seem to know about this stuff... What's the deal with kidney-shaped basins in medical settings? Why that shape?
