    AC The thinking was to replace a lot of union workers working in shifts all along the networks with more regional computers.
    A person with the required skills could watch an entire network.
    That would free up spending on wages, pensions and having to deal with unions.
    The result was a rush to use contractors to network entire regions. Contractors vs 24/7 union workers.
    The air gapped protections and workers on site got replaced with new internet facing networks.
    Years later reality sets in. The random internet has discovered strange vital networks once thought isolated and safe.
    Dual use www/internet and "secure" networks have limitations.
    Contractors are now back with wild cyber stories to push for funding to re upgrade the networks with more security.

    Re "work with computers is becoming as important as being able to read and write"
    The UK tried that in the 1980's with efforts like the BBC Micro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    Trying to put expensive computers in front on generations of very average students.
    Did the UK become a computing exporting super power?
    The average students who wanted "computers" enjoyed using and supporting brands like Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Cyrix and the later more powerful console games.
    All that effort and educational funding, projections of UK production lines exporting to the world resulted in US imports. US products and service and hardware from very low cost nations.
    Computing literacy now needs math. The days of sitting in front of Basic when a computer starts up and typing in lines of code from a book did not get great results with average students.
    The nations that win invest in testing, math, science and more math testing later.
    Been able to copy line after line of Basic code from a book when a computer starts up did not build a new export market for the UK years later.
    Years later the UK imported the best products and services from very well educated people in the USA.
    Focusing on a few with real math skills won over vast expensive new media eduction efforts.
    If a nation is teaching less math and is spending hours per day on trying to understand "information" online?
    Nations that put some effort into teaching math over years of education will do better with their best students.
    Critical thinking about computers, math, science is a good investment for any nation.
    The UK had amazing ideas about that "work with computers" in the early 1980's. People learned how to use a computer but the funding to fully support a generation of the best and brightest was lost to wider computer education.
    Not enough had the decades of UK educational support to become expert programmers. The much more skilled US experts move to export that to the UK.
    France had Minitel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... but lost out to the more free, fun and open internet.

  8. How all this could have been prevented on Tech Companies To Lobby For Immigrant 'Dreamers' To Remain In US (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Using a gov service?
    Show your full US photo ID. Prove citizenship before all the "free" tax payer funded city, sate and federal services and support is given.
    That simple step would have made interacting with every part of the US gov at a city, state and federal level much more difficult for illegal migrants.
    An illegal migrant would have had for buy, share, create fake more documents that should have been detected over decades. Finding such documents in use would have been easy with interconnected city, sate and federal databases.
    Want more US government support? A deeper search is done to ensure the US citizen is really a US citizen.

    What could have been done to support the US need for skilled seasonal workers?
    Needed guest workers? Create a system that counts every legal and documented worker into and out of the USA. US production lines get all the documented workers with skills they need but all the workers go back to their own nations again.
    A good wage is protected by US law and every guest worker is protected. The guest worker gets paid a full US wage, the US gets work done. The US knows exactly who it is letting into the USA and for how long.
    Health of the guest worker is documented, their past in their own nation can be reviewed before entering the USA.
    The guest worker brings their skills to the USA legally and is paid in full for their work.

    Using illegal migrants for work? The US gov should have stopped that decades ago. If a farm or company needed skilled workers, deport the illegals and show the employer who easy it is to bring in fully documented short term guest workers.
    Pay the legal and documented guest workers full US union wages. That would ensure US citizens and guest workers would have equal standing for the same job and work done.

    What can the US do now?
    The best way out of this is to offer a legal guest worker system to totally take away any illegal migrants ability to work in the USA.
    No citizenship for any next generation of guest workers when working in the USA. The citizenship of the nation of parent/s origin is used, no more winning US support for the next generation.
    Interconnection all US city, state, federal, boroughs, parish databases, records to find fake, created and shared social security numbers, names, documents.
    Start looking for every reused, fake or created number, document at a city to federal level.
    Do the same for educational, tax, gov, mil, health care, private sector databases. Ensure that any public/private/charity services are only been used by people who are in the USA legally.
    Interview US gov staff to find out why the US gov allowed such fake data to get used and stay in the US gov databases without question, reporting.
    Offer funding and support to US gov workers to share, track and report any data sets they find that are not correct.
    Upgrade networks, databases, use contractors, find skilled experts to share and re sort every digital file that has worker and citizenship data.
    Then scan and/or enter paper records at a city to federal level. See if any data sets are reused or have been stolen to support decades of fake ID's in the USA.
    Look for randomly created, old social security numbers, bank accounts, educational records that have no surrounding supporting US documents.
    Try face recognition on all images the US gov can find, buy from the private sector, had submitted.
    Help the parts of the USA that need guest workers. Find out why and how the US gov allowed so many fake, reused or created citizenship related "documents" to stay in use and be legally accepted for decades.
    Work with US gov workers to create a better detection system for any fake or reused US documents at any level of the US gov/mil/private sector.
    Over time the US gets the best skilled guest workers. The guest workers get a real wage. When the work is done the guest workers return home.
    Want to live in the USA and become a citizen? Apply for that like any other normal nation.

  10. Look at part of the USA that have invested a lot in "teachers", "students", "computers", "text books", "new computers", "robot kits"..."more computers"...
    All that spending per state, city, student per decade would have been expected to have produced generations of the very computer ready "average" students.
    Then another generation of results get published and governments, charities, foundations move in with more grants, funding to try and fix education again.
    Every year and decade better results are expected given all the new funding, support, advances in computer education, new code to teach with and help with education.
    A generation of educators should reflect on what the USA did right in the 1950-1980's with computer, calculator and math education.
    Test for the best students and teach them maths.
    Help the best students apply for science scholarships based on merit to a top US university. Then learn "computers" at university given years of good maths education.
    The USA gets to educate its very best and US gets top graduates with real computer and math skills.
    The result is a person who is ready for work and any changes in computer languages, code given they have been educated to a good standard.
    Stop spreading limited educational funding over an entire generation. Fund the best students after they pass some math tests.
    Some students may want to become doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, take up some vocational education, try music or arts, sports.
