I'm never sure what that means
There weren't computers in my schools because they didn't exist. However, I managed to get a BS in Computer Information Sciences from the University of Florida. All too often what they teach in schools is how to use software programs which is not at all the same as teaching the skills needed to be a programmer. Teaching how to think logically is critical. A strong emphasis on math and physics support that, not figuring out how to use the lastest and greatest version of word/excell/etc.
