In the UK, the GCSE I.T exams are extremely simplified, and as people grow up to learn more and ore about computers, I think that these kind of questions:



Q1.) What is a computer? (1)

Q2.) What is "Microsoft Windows"? (3)




Could be accompanied by these kind of questions:



Q1.) What is meant by the phrase "Open Source"? (1)

Q2.) Name 3 advantages of Open Source Software. (3)

Q3.) Name one piece of Open Source Software. (2)

Q4.) Why have some people turned away from Microsoft in terms of Operating Systems? (5)

I think if it did happen, it would realistically be many more years then ten
...Unfortunately:(

But by then it would be easy marks because linux will have ruled the world by then, mwahahahahaha!

I know. I'm ashamed of them. I got A*s in Sciences by learning the revision book back to front.

Yup. The main problem I had with it was the fact that you couldn't deviate from the course. Everyone's "website" had to be designed using Frontpage, had to be done in a particular way, and basically everyone's looked the same.
