They are so disconnected that most of them believe that Java is the real new thing
used everywhere in industry, and teach Java! Would they really be connected,
they would teach Cobol, Fortran, Visual Basic!
But the idea in Universities is to teach general programming with something
more advanced than the mainstream tools - they (and most employers) assume
that you are smart enough to read books for doing Java applets or learn Excel &
VBA when needed.
