What do moms say about computer literacy?

What do moms say about computer literacy?

When you were growing up, how much school reading and school writing was done with computers?  What kinds of things did you do?  What values did your teachers place on computer literacy?

“I am 33, and I graduated in 2000.  When I was in school, very little technology was used.  Some classrooms had computers, but they were very large.  I don’t recall the teachers placing a strong emphasis on us using the computers at school nor at home.  In fact, most families did not even have computers at that time.  If we used a computer, we used floppy disks not flash drives or external hard drives.  I can remember having a typing class in middle school.  The computers were large, and all we practiced was improving our words per minute. In high school I can remember getting my first flip phone.  It didn’t take pictures, access the internet, nor did it have texting capabilities. “

I think it is really interesting to examine the differences in my education concerning technology compared to my step mother’s. Especially because she is only 13 years older than I am, and I feel like in those years technology substantially  changed.
