To add a fifth point if I may - it was also rocket fuel for getting CS into the (what most here will call 'K12') curriculum.

When I (only ~5 years ago) took GCSE (last compulsory qualification) 'IT' - even though it was the slightly different course for 'more able' pupils - we were learning how to make Flash animations, use MS Office, Windows Movie Maker, and sorry things like that.

Forget "fifth point" - I think it's impact on schools is #1.

Pre-GCSE was even worse. Taking screenshots of each step of copying a folder to show that we knew how to do it.
