Well, myself only being 15, i think i have the best year to be born in.. 1986. I wasn't introduced into computers until i was 9 or 10 years old. And before that.. i had a pretty good understanding of books, and reference =)

um.. ever since 5th grade, i have been extremely into computers. I've went from asking the questions, to answering them =)..

I still ask, questions here and there but now its more of a solid: This is how you would solve your problem, or issue. <-- hehe

its a good idea to have computers used in jr high.

in my school district its' like this:

elementery (k-4th grade) - a few computers
middle school (5th-8th grades) - 2 actual computer labs, with 50 computers in each
high school (9th - 12th grades) - 4 computer labs, with about 50 computers in each lab

and yes, plagerism is a high risk these days.. but, also in books you can do plagerism.. so you have to trust yourself, and others =)

i hope my two cents helped. =)
