¡¡¡¡We are not about to enter the Information Age, but instead are rather well into it£®Present predictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, or about thirty percent of the job market, will be computer-related£®In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all American high schools owned one or two computers for student use£®In the fall of 1985, a new study showed that half of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use£®And now educational experts, administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all students become computer literate£®By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in over eighty percent of all occupations£®Soon those people not educated in computer use will be compared to those who are print illiterate today£®
¡¡¡¡What is computer literacy? The term itself seems to imply some degree of knowing about computers, but knowing what? The present opinion seems to be that this should include a general knowledge of what computers are, plus a little of their history and something of how they operate£®
¡¡¡¡Therefore, it is important that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, but also at what should be done in the field of computer education£®Today most adults are able to use a motor car without the slightest knowledge of how the internal combustion engine (ÄÚȼ»ú) works£®We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histories or to explain how they work£®
¡¡¡¡Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet few have ever known how to repair them£®Why, then, attempt to teach computers by teaching how or why they work?
¡¡¡¡Rather, we first must fix our mind on teaching the effective use of the computer as the tool is£®
¡¡¡¡Knowing how to use a computer is what's going to be important£®We don't talk about ¡°automobile literacy¡±£®We just get in our cars and drive them£®
