In the beginning of this school year my youngest told me that he's the only one in his class who passed a computerized test because nobody else knew how to use the mouse of the school PC. Other kids also don't know how to touch-type, so it takes them ages to answer non-multiple choice questions using the keyboard.

There was a panic as the school management scrambled to introduce a PC literacy class into the curriculum.
