Has anyone noticed the state's distrust in today's youth with computers?

I had to download Paint.net for the whole class because the teacher liked it :|

Our School:

Teacher: I'LL MAKE YOU DO stuffTY WMM PROJECTS FROM PICTURES DOWNLOADED FROM GOOGLE! Ain't that cool?

All of them think that because they can use the basic stuff, they actually are "super good".

Also, "Oh no, EVERY download has viruses and bad things. Don't do it."

We made some crappy picture in MS paint and then used internet.
But later on Java and Flash seemed to disappear from the PCs.
So there was nothing to do in the lessons. :/

Our school blocks everything. Especially forums. They've been super-strict about that since some kid stumbled upon a research website that somehow wasn't blocked.

No one knows we are experts at computers.
I have never lost my computer by virus or breakdown.
I can fix it and change it when i want.

This is what happens in my school.

I used to play small downloaded flash and DOS games at my highschool. Just unplugged the network cable and they couldn't see what I was doing. They could see that a computer was no longer on the network, but they had more important things to monitor. After all, the network cable could have accidentally been pulled without knowing, right?

The college I attend is much better, so no need for that nonsense.

The campus computers at my university give you your own drive which you can access anywhere on campus, I just put games like Cortex Command and Dwarf Fortress on it so I can play whenever. I also got Jetpack. I'm ashamed to admit their computers are stronger then my laptop though

The people that work at the computer lab at my school don't even know what a DOS window is.

My friends like deleting the mighty /WINDOWS/ folder and watching some things they shouldn't.... when they can... , 2 out of 10 computers are working, the others have their /WINDOWS/ folders deleted or hardware broken. xD.

They don't even care about that, the computers were not even turning on like 5months ago...

So my answer is no, I didn't notice the state's distrust in today's youth with computers.

Darn, those games and Battle for Wesnoth are the best "flash drive-by" games ever!  A couple pals of mine and myself used to bring BfW to school all the time.

It's ok at my school. We can change background, resolution, screensaver, theme. We have access to MS-DOS windows. No sites that I use is blocked.

I mean, honestly. I recently took the state testing, and I had to read a passage about a girl who kept jerking off, not doing her work, so it comes down to where she has to type it before school. And it at one point came to a passage where it said-

What?

Green letters on black screen? The hell? They're acting like we've never seen a computer before. Did anyone else get that passage? Because I know I've seen a computer before. I mean,  where's the windows XP? The Mac? I've never seen green on black. I've seen white on black, as in DOS. But never green.

Also, I think about once or twice, I've seen retro computers in books and on TV.
Discuss.

I just had that same test. The NJ Ask Grade 8? It was really corny, especially the "Life is like a computer, you cant always just press enter" part

What I like, are the ones that think we know nothing about computers.
