A Survey of the Computer Training Market’s Recent Expansion

It all began with a mathematical issue. In response to that issue, further difficult mathematical problems arose. People were utilizing a variety of approaches to solve these complicated mathematical problems. Next came the abacus, a basic tool for doing mathematical computations. One could argue that this is the very first instance of computer instruction—the first instructor showing a student how to use an abacus.

The abacus, the first “computer,” survived for a long time after new tools for mathematical computations became available. The first computer was created with the help of electronics. You could fit a whole room into the first computer. Actually, you can still fill a room with several from that era that are in use today. The initial goal of building a computer was to speed up the execution of complicated mathematical processes.

At first, only scientists and mathematicians could master computers. Subsequently, they spread to other places of higher education and grew increasingly commonplace there. Students sitting in their first computer classes were enrolled at various educational institutions. Overcrowding forced several students to be turned away from the computer training programs they had eagerly planned to enroll in.

The scale of these supercomputers started to decrease as technology progressed. The smallest computers available today are the size of a cornflake; these are more accurately called microchips or mini-computers. The price of computers has dropped in tandem with their diminutive form factors. The common man could finally afford to purchase a computer when the price dropped significantly. In addition to being cheap, small, and portable, they were also reasonably priced (think laptop).

It was essential that someone be familiar with the usage of all these computers. Smaller colleges and technical institutes, in addition to universities, provided computer science programs. What was to be reserved for the few has become the norm. Computer science classes, which taught students the fundamentals of computers and how to program, were first given in high schools. The computer eventually found its way into elementary and middle schools. Currently, all students in public schools are required to take computer science classes.

It’s gotten to the point where young school-aged pupils are starting to have more experience than the elder generation. Actually, it appeared like kids were surpassing their elders in that particular domain.

The necessity of computer education started to sink in among senior citizens. Taking care of the next generation was a top priority for many. Time was an issue at this age when it came to attending classroom-based computer education. Others, occupied with a full-time job, encountered a comparable predicament. Everyone had access to computers at work, and those who were proficient with them often got better salaries.

Businesses, government agencies, and IT specialists all saw this coming and jumped on the bandwagon. A void was created due to insufficient computing knowledge or time. Taking computer classes became popular. The availability of online computer training courses has expanded to include everyone with access to the internet. Everyone now has access to a computer because of this.

After reading this, one is left to question how computer training will continue to expand.
