The death of calculator market?

[Giancarlo]

Hello,
I agree on that.
There is a great opportunity. It is the first time that different platform adopt the same programming language reducing the the slopes initial phase of learning a new language, use code snippets found everywhere.
At this point why not extending this concept to a development board?
Hp shouldn’t be scared of the effort. In my opinion they shouldn’t develop a board by themselves, they should adopt one.
Nowadays there are consolidated boards without risks of choosing one that will disappear soon.
I think that hp should develop a limited amount of commands and then let the user comunity to proceed.

Arduino and raspberry pie need An extra effort that kid may not be able to cope with. Why we don’t rely to our calculator these first steps toward automation and robotics?

Most of us won’t need this. I am 53 years old and hp shouldn’t rely on me for growing its market. The most I can do is buying some calculators for my two daughters, that’s it.

That could create a comunity of young courious That overtime could be enthusiasTic of hp. This takes time and I don’t know if marketing (In general - not pointing at hp now) can listen to this.

Thanks

Giancarlo
