"So why are young people in the UK choosing not to study IT, one of the more lucrative UK industries?
Professor Shadbolt said it was partly due to poor teaching and called for a thorough review of the way in which it is taught in schools
The industry also had an image problem, he said, with computer scientists often portrayed on TV and in films as "geeky". "
?? Hey I thought that was a GOOD thing:)
They need to get those primary kids on to LJ - that'll sort em..
I'm STILL FUCKING ILL. Still waking up at 4,5 or 6 coughing brains out. Still feel like rather warm moistened toilet roll. GRRR.
PLus Sky + man came (it has been dead since I got back from London) and declared fault is garden not box, and that although the tree was not blocking the signal three months ago, now it is. He spent a great deal of time explaining that as little as three inches would do it. I declared disbeleif that trees grew three inches in under 3 months, in autumn. He left.
GGGRRRRRRRR.
