Well, isn’t it? Except we’re at Middle Ages/ early Renaissance rates of computer science and programming literacy. “The future is already here, it’s just not widely distributed yet” and all that.
- amelius 5y agoYou can still make tons of money by being a good businessperson and knowing nothing about programming. I really wouldn't use the term "literacy" for programming-skills. "Literacy" is not about being at an advantage. It is about having a disadvantage when you don't have it.
- comicjk 5y agoI think that's what was meant by "Middle Ages/ early Renaissance" in the comment above. In this time period, literacy was a rare advantage. For instance, in early modern England, literate people were not subject to ordinary criminal courts on a first offense. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefit_of_clergy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benefit_of_clergy
