Some was outdated, yes. But that's really not the biggest problem. The biggest problem was that it was dumbed-down, generalized and/or often wrong. Rather than learning actual. The security professor told us that google.com doesn't use https even while we were accessing google.com via https while she was saying it. The focus on fads and bad technology. More often way too into technology trends rather actual logic and understanding. Short of 2 classes, I didn't learn anything during my college career. What they taught, I had already learned PRIOR to getting into the university. Are they hostile to new ideas? Yes, but only if it came from places that they didn't like. If a student said it or if it's not from a website of a rich tech company, then it's a bad idea. If a colleague or large company does it, then it's a good idea. Even if the tool crashed during class, had errors that the professor has never seen and can't fix or it costs money just to learn a tool that A COMPANY IS TRYING TO SELL TO YOU. Yeah, there's a grumbling that university needs to teach practical skills, but when all they teach is practical skills, it loses the point of it all. Most of my graduating class can't tell you how the boot process of a computer goes. They can't tell you what their computer is running and why. They just know, download this tool, download these frameworks, smash modules together until you get something that works like what you like. Technology has gotten worse and worse. This isn't a coincidence. Evidence being that I've tried to log into slashdot like 20+ now. It keeps asking me to log in. Logs me in and then when I click on an article says I'm posing anonymously. People are being taught to memorize, not understand. And this shows. I had to register a new account to post this. We'll see if that works.
