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.

Why do I hate Android? It’s definitely one of the questions I get asked most often these days. And most of those that don’t ask probably assume it’s because I’m an iPhone guy. People see negative take after negative take about the operating system and label me as “unreasonable” or “biased” or worse.
I should probably explain.
Believe it or not, I actually don’t hate Android. That is to say, I don’t hate the concept of Android — in fact, at one point, I loved it. What I hate is what Android has become. And more specifically, what Google has done with Android.

Following a blog has a shelf life.
An odd but true statement. The blogs I follow today are vastly different from the blogs I followed 6 months ago. I used to read Seth Godin religiously. Now I only peek in every now and again. I used to voraciously consume life hacking blogs—-but now I skim them every couple weeks.
As my knowledge increases on a subject, my consumption begin to shrink down to more focused and targeted regiment.
The goal is an information diet that is both targeted and balanced.

Do you ever read something that influences your actions even years after that information is outdated and obsolete? The other day I found myself spouting a philosophy that I no longer believe to be relevant—-an outdated methodology that should have been expunged from my mind years ago.
Staying current with updated information is important, and re-evaluating long held philosophies, especially in regards to communication and technology, is vitally important.
So be smart, read, digest, question, and for the love of all….please keep your mouth shut if your knowledge on the subject is outdated.
