A hundred years ago was 1913 and no they didn't have computers.The car had just been put into production, the airplane invented in 1903, the telephone was still fairly new, and there were still people without electricity. The first TV was made in 1924, but not sold until 1947. People used radios for news, music, and entertainment all through the 1930's and 40's. The first computer was a government computer in 1947 that filled a room with the machinery it took to run it. It used magnetic tape for memory and key punch cards.The silcone chip hadn't been invented yet. There was no internet (1971 when it was invented by two MIT grad students) and desk top computers weren't sold until the late 1970's. The Apple 2E was an early home computer with 6g memory. The cell phone was invented by Dr. Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1974 and sold for government use. It wasn't until 1984 that they were sold to public. In 1913 the phonograph was a gramophone. There were no CD's, no tape, no recording devices, and no DVD's. Movies were silent and not in color. The first movie with sound was in 1928 and it was called the Great Train Robbery. The first color movie was in 1932 and that was the Wizard of OZ and to have color in it they had to hand color the film. No, in 1913 the world was a different place than it is today.

A 100 years ago would make it 1913, so they taught pretty much the same subjects. High schools were just starting and so were school bus routes. How the classrooms looked were much different. Desks were wooden one piece items, there were no white boards and chalkboards were used. The rooms wouldn't have had air conditioning, but windows that opened. There would be been no movies, no VCR, no DVD, no computers, no phones, and a lot of the playground equipment would be things like swings.
