There is an IT lesson that year 7 do.

They get a worksheet with 4 questions and they are then split into two groups.One half uses the library to try and answer the questions.The other half use the internet.

The question that usually foxes both of them is Where is the Sea of Tranquillity because the library group usually head for the atlas.Needless to say those on the internet answer the questions much faster than the ones using the library because even if they know which book to look in the poor things have never been taught to use an index. :rolleyes:


Incog. :)

I don't need either to answer that, nor would I have, as a 12 year old. Astronomy was one of my interests, and I watched all the moon landings. :)

I know it's completely OT - but I just thought I'd say that I was considering ordering pick of the day for my boy :)

It's only £34.99 and coud well get him into telescopes. I know it's cheap and nasty, but he's not getting his hands on my telescope for a while yet.

I'm more interested in the comments:

"Of course, broadband in the UK is laughably slow compared to other parts of the world.

"In South Korea, Japan and Hong Kong normal connection speeds are measured in megabits, or millions of bits, a second rather than the thousands that we are supposed to be happy with."

When will our "service" providers get their acts together???

To the present year 7 the moon landings are part of boring history. ;)
