I'm curious how you came up with these years.

  A very brief google/wiki-dive for "literacy in Europe" and "personal computer", and then mostly guesswork. It's a pretty Eurocentric approach, and probably rather inaccurate, but I suspect that you could find a dozen examples of bans on learning to read and write on any given continent in the past thousand years alone. (I was really more torn about what year to choose for typing; a case could be made for anywhere from the late 1800's after the invention of the typewriter, all the way to the 1990s, when I first had to deal with a mandatory typing class in high school.)
