The World As An API ------ Writing was not considered important for the average person back in the day. You could get a job on the farm or some kind of manufacturing job and it was therefore not a necessity to survive in the real world. It was still valued but it was something for the rich. As time moved on and technology changed, so did work requirements, as the economy grew from substance and agricultural based to industrial and then to services based, the type of skills also moved from manual labor to more intellectual labor. The economy is changing again, becoming more information technology based, also with the internet of things increasing, our homes will become more tech based. We will move to a future where everything has an API, from your washing machine to your nike's and to be able to make small customization's, you will need basic programming skills. Basic Programming is the new Writing and Reading. My kids will learn basic programming whether they like to or not.
