Unsupported and self evident assertion?
What about people with mild mental difficulties?
What about people who suffers from extreme mental difficulties?
What about someone who no longer has a concentration span due to past substance abuse?
What about someone who is still using drugs heavily?
Hows about a 5 year old kid who's brain has not yet fully developed?
Or perhaps a 15 year old kid who is in the middle of puberty and has little concentration as a result?
Or a 90 year old suffering from dementia?
Or someone suffering any level of depression?
Do all these different groups of people in society (and the many others I have not mentioned) have the same capability to learn programming (or anything else for that matter) as any other group in society?
Didn't think so.
- icebraining 14y agoThen there would be no activity at all that everyone could do, and the question would be senseless. I think you're reading it too literally and missing the point.
- se85 14y agoName one skill that everyone can do regardless of the number of neurons in their brain and the capacity to use them, and ignoring any other underlying conditions that may impact ones ability to learn or retain knowledge? This can't even be said for the basics like language, maths and science, why would computer programming be any different? The 7 billion plus human brains on this planet are not created equally to each other (nor do they remain equal over time)! So how come everyone apparently has the ability to learn programming? This is all scientific fact, so I really can't agree with your viewpoint on things that we all somehow have equal capacity to learn, it sounds a little out of touch with reality to me.
