Math Hipsters

Transcript
(In the school library, Katrina is using a calculator to do her math homework. Mirabelle comes in, but she isn't impressed with Katrina's calculator)

Mirabelle: You're using a calculator? Pshaw!

Katrina: What's wrong with using a calculator?

Mirabelle: Nothing, if you're lame. Calculators just spit out answers. There's no craft. No art. No journey to savor. Plus, they're digital, so they can only approximate some values. As a result, I bet there are people out there who actually believe pi equals 3.14159265.

(Mirabelle takes a slide rule out of her backpack)

Mirabelle: That's why for my problem-solving money, nothing beats a slide rule.

(Katrina isn't impressed)

Katrina: Math hipsters are so annoying.

Mirabelle: Just look at these analog square roots!

(Just then, Phil comes in with an abacus, and he isn't impressed with Mirabelle's slide rule)

Phil: You're using a slide rule? Pshaw!
