> Distraction-free (no Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, internet access) to keep students focused on learning

... Is this a thing on calculators nowadays, or just a dig at smartphones, laptops, and desktops? Haven't had to use a graphing calculator since high school, the TI-84 Plus was a great device.

It's to market these as an alternative to Chromebooks and tablets for math classes. Though it's a moot point because I'm pretty sure you can run Pokemon on a TI calculator these days.

Interesting. Though it's funny because the TI's came bundled with a few offline games that I will fully admit to playing during class and breaks. And people did have game packs they shared online. The puzzle games were a lot of fun.

These things are anything but distraction-free. There was a MASSIVE ecosystem around TI games in my high school. I definitely spent multiple classes playing Tetris on my calculator. Or running a drug empire.
