When I was a Gateway Grammar school in 1970 we had the first ever school computer in the city. It took up almost an entire classroom and took almost an hour to load and solve a mathematical question. And that's all it did, maths. 

 

The questions were on hole-punched cards. You had to feed the cards through some device that could recognise the pattern of holes which would then, eventually, print out a sheet of the calculations and the answer.

 

I think it was called COBOL.

COBOL was (is) a programming language. COmmon Business Orientated Language. Sadly old enough to remember having to write programs in it

 

No idea what make the computer was though .

What a guy

 

Humiliating a student for social media likes

 

Professor prat


 

He didn’t name the student, it might not even be from this year- could be several years old and he might have even asked the student’s permission… you just don’t know..

 

 

you’re too quick to be annoyed by things

Also, don't know about anyone else but I read it as someone asking about 1994 being history made him feel old. In no way did I see a dig at the student.
