Abstract
Nowadays, in the period of glasnost', any first-year student in a technical college knows that another revolution, this time an information revolution, began 10-15 years ago in the civilized world. For news of this to reach the USSR as well, a "fateful" speech by Academician E. P. Velikhov, in which he proclaimed a need for "universal computerization of education," was required. Touching pictures of first-year students confidently punching the keyboards of personal computers appeared on the pages of the central newspapers and a great deal was written in magazines about the necessity of organizing classes on information processing in "every normal school."
