Kernel column 2 – Michael Gove knows computers are critical

Back in 2002, a geeky friend of mine sent me an HTML file via MSN Messenger. “I’ve learnt HTML,” he said. “Check this out.” The webpage looked awful: it had frames, stretched images and a disgusting colour scheme. Yet, for all its flaws, I was quietly irritated that my friend had learnt HTML before me.

I realise that this is not typical for teenage boys. Nor was it typical to have attempted to teach myself C++ a year later (an unmitigated failure). I was, quite unreservedly, a computer geek.

Fast forward three years, to my GCSEs.

My second Kernel column can be found here: MICHAEL GOVE KNOWS COMPUTERS ARE CRITICAL.
