I guess I can top that one, Ms Bibbidi:
When I was in High School, we got the States very first punch card system. We learned how to sort with that system. We thought we were big time, LOL. We also got the first computer system and we learned on it, wiring, etc. It was unheard of in schools at that time. I don't know why our rural school system got those things, but everyone was amazed and didn't know what to do with them. I didn't think they would be a big deal. LOL! Little did I know.
So I learned to program a computer and use the punch card system while in HS at the age of 16!
