Kids can't use computers... and this is why it should worry you — Coding 2 Learn

coding2learn.org/blog/2013/07/29/kids-cant-use-computers

A long dismissive text about how kids, and people in general, don't know how to “use computers”. Overall, the author is right, they really don't know, but instead of approaching the topic on how to make computing more accessible, he takes pride in his knowledge (that most people lack), and tells the folks what to do (along the lines of forcing your children to learn programming).

He also mentions how Microsoft lobbied the idea of Microsoft Office being computing itself to British schools. Well, it's the same in Russia, and not just in school. For many, using MS Office is the most important skill. I never understood that. It's a very niche tool, no?! And it's very hard to use, I still only know the very basics of office suites.

Mysteries to revel in.
