computer education (modest proposal)
I think that modern computer education is wrong and bad and I have a modest proposal/bad idea to fix it:
Teach computer science via living computer history.
Start folks off on (modern recreations of) early computers. Make them qualify by submitting a program on punch cards before graduating to a serial terminal.

@ajroach42 a computer science professor at university of york always did just that. He collects big old machines. He’s recently got an old Elliot machine working again that has a loudspeaker to listen to the processor for debugging. So slow you can hear when it goes wrong.
