> The car is a black box. Gas goes in, vroom comes out. If the box stops working, I pay someone to fix it. It would be a huge problem if you're an aspiring mechanic or anything related, but that's an increasingly niche role so we aren't worried about kids not having mechanical literacy. Many kids are aspiring to work in roles where computer literacy is vital and becoming more so every day. The one's that lack the fluency to do things like automate the repetitive parts of their jobs will gradually not be adding enough value to be gainfully employed. Not being computer literate will have a huge impact on their careers, not being car literate won't (for most).
