Not being able to code will be, in 10 years, like not being able to parallel park. People will look at you like, "Really?"

- roopeshv 15y agonow, that's total inanity.

- crazygringo 15y agoSadly, I think that's just as accurate now as it was 10 years ago.
- jleader 15y agoExcept that in 10 years, cars that can parallel park themselves will be 18 years old, and there will probably be drivers who have never parallel parked for themselves.

- Daniel_Newby 15y agoHalf the population is below IQ 100 (in America and Europe). For these people, learning basic algebra is like pulling teeth. Coding? Forget about it.
- zerostar07 15y agoIt has little to do with IQ, and lots to do with education policy.
- Dn_Ab 15y agoSomeone a long time ago, possible H.G. Wells, said "Statistical thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write". He was right. This would suggest that most citizenship is effected inefficiently. I suspect in 10 years at least, things will go similarly for programming. But maybe in 30,40,50 years; better diets,better environments, nutritional junk food, better education, designer children, gene therapy, drugs, implants, whatever will push mean IQ out of its current local maximum.
