I took my GCSE IS (Information Systems, IE 'computing'/whatever) in 1998. I remember failing the mock examination because I kept making reference to the Internet, World Wide Web, etc in my answers and I was told that as our syllabus pre-dated the Internet I was not able to use it as an example even though I was correct. I was encouraged to use "Prestel" (if anyone remembers that) as an example of an interactive system via modem rather than the Internet. :/ For 'fun' I also completed A Level Computing in 3 months at an evening school (usually you would learn it over 2 years) just to prove I could do it. I got an overall B because I couldn't complete all of the coursework in 3 months, but aced the exam. If I ever have kids and raise them back home in the UK, I'll teach them ICT/Computing/whatever myself and encourage them to take something else that I can't teach them personally (like Drama, Music, etc)
