- | One of the areas where I think modern day computer science misses the boat is in the potential for using the computer as an educational tool. Admittedly, my perception may be significantly colored by my not having been in school in any form for almost 30 years, but I can say that a LOT of the applications you saw on computers in the early days of affordable home PC’s were educational programs of one type or another, particularly in the 8-bit era.

Even though the computer industry has mostly branched off in other directions, I still enjoy using my computer for ongoing educational purposes, and I’m gratified that Linux is probably better in this respect than MacOS or Windows. | Even though the computer industry has mostly branched off in other directions, I still enjoy using my computer for ongoing educational purposes, and I’m gratified that Linux is probably better in this respect than MacOS or Windows. | ||

- | Installing from Synaptics Package Manager | + | L’un des domaines où je pense que l’informatique de nos jours rate le coche est dans la possibilité d’utiliser l’ordinateur comme un outil éducatif. Il est vrai que cette idée peut être affectée par le fait que je n'ai fait aucune sorte d’études depuis presque 30 ans, mais je peux dire que BEAUCOUP des applications qui se trouvaient sur les ordinateurs au début des PC domestiques abordables étaient des programmes éducatifs d’un type ou d'un autre, surtout dans l’ère des 8-bit.
