Part of the problem as I see it is that the NSW Department of Education and Training with their over the top internet filtering is stoping people with interests in IT and Computing from learning more and exploring for themselves because so many useful sites are blocked on the internet. (e.g. some forums that provide help are blocked! Heck, once even a www.cse.unsw.edu.au site was blocked!!!) And for those that may not have an initial interest in IT or Computing, but blocking sites such as My Space, Facebook, Youtube, and millions of other useful sites people at these schools are discouraged from exploring technology.
