"You Have To Learn Computers!"
Maybe I’m a bit cynical today, but this amusing SNL skit (few and far between these days) makes me think of certain individuals and institutions that I have encountered over the years that push hard for technological literacy without much understanding of what they are promoting. This video will likely find itself in one of my presentations in the future.
Update: The link worked at first, then it seemed to link to some sort of porn site. I am now hosting the clip on my local server, so the problem shouldn’t reoccur.

Thanks for this gem. I’ll add this to the Steve Jobs video on the ipod as well.

I’m starting a new semester of Information Processing classes this week and I can use this as a segway into what we are learning and why! Thanks.
