Children learning Computing

Just read an interesting article on BBC News pointing out that in the UK less and less children are learning how to programme computers and more and more children though are learning to be end users, I slightly disagree from what i have seen in all honesty. When I twas a child i hadn’t even heard of such things like computer code etc. I had no idea at all with the exception of what a word processor was maybe.

Today children seem a LOT more educated in subjects related to computing, even if these subjects are not in detail, the concept of what a computer does and there importance is a message well received.

‘Screen Shot’

Why does everyone call this something different? Screen Capture, Screen Dump, Screen Flash, Screen Save, Print Screen, Frame Capture….

Is there a definitive REAL definition for this function of a personal computer?

Why does everyone call it something different? It’s like an accent of IT literate speech. Well my accent is ’screen shot’ hence the title… whats yours?
