Should we all learn a little programming?
It goes without saying that the Internet, computers, and related technical gadgets have a major role in modern life. Given how dependent we are on this technology, how much should we know about how it all works?
Writing at TechRepublic, Justin James says we should teach programming to all students. He argues that it would help make them better prepared for the type of jobs that modern society has. I certainly agree that students should learn more about computers but I am not sure that programming is what students need. How about Internet safety?
Personally, I like to program but it’s hard to imagine that it would be everybody’s cup of tea. However, just in case you’d like to learn, I have a site for you. It’s programming for absolute beginners and it’s provided by Microsoft.
