I love learning. I love higher learning. I love institutions of learning. I love the scientific method. (I could go on...)
Now that we've established that...
I had some friends stop by. Their son is in college for a computer-related degree. I forget which but it sounds like a fairly basic intro to computer science, but without the math. So, he might actually be in one of those qausi-trade school things. I did not pay as much attention as I should have.
Anyhow, their son knows I'm a computer guy and have an education and all that. So, he decided to talk to me. I'm not sure of his motives but it might have just been that he wanted to impress or at least not be bored. Maybe he was trying to make his parents proud.
Well, he was going on about these two 'new' things. He was going on and on about how these 'new' ARM processors were going to take over the computer industry and how RISC (also 'new') was the most important modern change to hardware and software.
I didn't have the heart to tell him that both of those, ARM and RISC, are older than his parents.
I don't know whose fault it is. He may be learning impaired or the school may have low-rent teachers.
