ccti 1b-4 Activity 5 Myth of Computer Literacy

Can a person ever really be computer literate? Or is it an ongoing process?  I have been to computer classes which began with binary numbers, history of the computer etc..  Sitting in those classes wodering why anyone would think I cared about such things, I often occupied myself completive adminstrative tasks, making plans for school and playing games.  I feel sorry for students who cannot find better things to do while teachers are passing on irrelevant information.  I have often said I am not good with computers simply because I cannot remember any skills unless it is taught to me in some context.  I now see that this is normal, but imagine how many persons have been turned off because of the approach which was used.
Integrated approach:  Since the whole idea of using an integrated approach was introduced in this country, I would have thought it would be automatic to just integrate new subject areas but it still seems hard to grasp.
I prefer the discussions in the community.
