"we were taught about the internals too, such the ALU, registers etc and went on to learn about the various logic gates, how to put them together and build adders etc, all on paper"

One of my tasks at tech college as a "proper" IT tech was to write a full "graphical" simulator for a simple CPU in Pascal ... worked really well with single stepping of the op-code fetch-execute cycle and everything. Those were the heady days of teaching proper computer science ...
