It was when I was at school 20years ago.

And the ability to write

10 print "I am great" 20 goto 10

has led directly to the wide understanding of technology and the rational approach to science and computers we see today among both the general population and our political leaders.



Oddly, I seem to recall print statements which were less focused on the positive qualities of the code's author, and more focused on the negative qualities of other individuals.

But maybe that's just me. Not everybody had an older brother.


Where did you go to school? It's not on the Ohio standard curriculum.

Or any pushed through with NCLB, to my knowledge.


just those 2 lines of basic made thousands of developers
