I still dread the sight of the wooden scale that was constant companion to school as it rolled over in my bag with everything else that I used to pack. This is mainly because it was used as a weapon against me for squandering my evenings in the park, thus missing out on my homework. My palms would go red and warm with the whacks that old Mrs. Robinson inflicted on them. However, I’ve grown up to be a successful geek and don’t mind it much now since I don’t need that silly old weapon any more. But alas, it came flying right at me. The weapon is now available with a digital display, though it maintains the old wooden look. All you have to do is push down on the edge of the device to mark the area that you want to measure.

The digital version of the classic wooden rules is still in its conceptual days. Let’s hope they don’t mind showing us how much ‘%’ of our erasers are left with the help of a digital meter too.
