In 1980, The Durham Sun reported on this technological shift in an article, “‘Computer mania’ hits schools.”

Check out these photos of students using computers at Southwest Elementary School in 1989 and Stanford L. Warren Library in 1990.

It’s Friday Flashback, and the theme is “Back to School.” Students are heading back to the classroom! Today we take computers for granted, but they weren’t widely used in schools and libraries until the1980 and 1990s. *see posts below for full caption*
