Live in the future and see whats missing

As Paul Graham says if you work in the startup world you should live in the future and see what is missing. I think that is great advice.

Incredibly solid advice. If mobile is the future, you best be living in it so you can uncover opportunity.

cartergibson: The Expert Enough Manifesto

The Expert Enough Manifesto
April242012

What if all of us understood the basics of computer programming?

In my perspective … science and computer science is a liberal art, it’s something everyone should know how to use, at least, and harness in their life. It’s not something that should be relegated to 5 percent of the population over in the corner. It’s something that everybody should be exposed to and everyone should have mastery of to some extent, and that’s how we viewed computation and these computation devices.

-Steve Jobs

What if they started requiring the teaching of basic programming languages in middle school?

What would the world look like if 50% of the population had a basic understanding of a computer programming language instead of 5%?

What would that world look like?

Kids basically live in an app using, internet surfing, computer hacking playground…and yet the vast majority of them will never know anything about the languages and framework that make that virtual world a reality. 

Screw French and Latin, start teaching them ROR, or Python, or PHP, or HTML, or SOMETHING RELEVANT.

Ok, I’m done, rant over.
