I'm sure you could show this post 40 years from now, people will still understand it from programming their TI-83 in high school.

Programming on a TI-83 will be a thing as long as TI-83/4s remain the "gold standard" of graphing calculators in high school.

Seriously, is there a good graphing calculator app for Android that gives you all the same functionality but runs on modern hardware? I've been out of high school for 20 years I don't care what's prohibited in exam rooms.

I remember my AP Calculus exam. We were allowed graphing calculators. So I wrote a basic program that gave all the formulas, notes and tips we could come up with in a stupid version of less. Totally legal, we were allowed calculators with whatever programs we wanted. The just didn't think someone would make a program that was nothing but hundreds of PRINT statements!
