Agreed. People think of the application of software and automation to every facet of our lives as an industry (tech) when really it is a new industrial revolution. We're undergoing a major shift in how people will work in the future.
"I'm not good with computers" will be the 21st century equivalent of "I can't read good"
- lostcolony 12y agoOr, "I'm not good with computers" will be the 21st equivalent of "I'm not good at math". Meaning LOADS of employed people will be saying it. The real benefit of programming for non-programmers is being able to break large problems into small, solvable ones, and logically assemble those small solutions into various larger ones (even outside of the original problem; code reuse, as it were). This is a skill you can learn a myriad of ways, but computing is perhaps the first time we've had a mechanism by which you can directly practice it in a non-contrived, endlessly extensible manner.
