[quote=ucodegen]There is a ‘current’ problem being noticed where many college undergrads who were ‘exposed’ to computers in the home while growing up, don’t have the ‘expected’ knowledge of them when they enter College. That is because ‘exposure’, ie watching videos, playing games.. is not the same as using a computer as a tool. This problem is exacerbated by the ‘MTV’ generation’s 15 second concentration duration.[/quote] My point exactly. What we really need are the basics: reading, writing, arithmetic, algebra, spelling. We are failing there… see how many allegedly educated adults spell “alot”, confuse “principal” with “principle,” can’t calculate a 15% tip, etc. Throwing money at fancy gadgets is not going to solve the more basic problem.
