..and why should they? Chances are, none of it would do them any good.

I realized years ago much of the random information I learned playing with computers in the 80s and 90s is no longer useful.



Because technology marches on?

I disagree, you probably learned about bits and  bytes, buses, registers and stuff. those things don't change. it will always be useful, because you know what digital computer can and can't do - how it works.
that is, until they make usable quantum computer or something.
Better sorry than worry.

the rules haven't changed at all. modern computers are following the same rules/algorithms. they are just turing machines.
