This article discusses the possibility of teaching coding to
all not just those that specialize in the field. One programmer, Shereef
Bishay, shares “Everybody should learn to code, he says, because machine/human
and machine/machine interaction is becoming as ubiquitous as human/human
interaction. Those who don't know how to code soon will be in the same position
as those who couldn't read or write 200 years ago” (Rowinski). I think his opinion
is interesting. Even though we are a technologically advanced society I don’t
understand how this could be beneficial to everyone. I don’t ever see myself
ever wanting or needing to learn how. I think we should leave this to the
professionals. I agree with the opposing view in this article shared by Atwood,
“Learn to read. Learn to write. Learn to hold a conversation. Learn some basic
math. These skills, he says, are more essential than being able to program
a computer” (Rowinski).
Interesting ideas in this article! I have never thought about it that way, but I can see the relevance for sure! Thanks for sharing!
