And that is the precise reason that the Raspberry Pi was born. Your age group was particularly unfortunate to be the first wave where the user interface of computers was being almost exclusively designed for non-technical users, so the delights of a programming prompt as the first thing you saw on power up were no more.

Exactly in the mid 70's there where better courses for programming in some schools in my CSE! class we did Assembly language using CECIL and learnt about half adders etc.

For Younger and non UK people CSE where the exams for those that where mostly going to leave school at 16.
