gollark: People are going to *use computers*, which is why I think we should have teaching on stuff like solving random problems instead.

gollark: *Reading manuals.*

gollark: I think it would be much more useful to actually teach basic computer use. How to solve basic problems (application of the search engine). What all the various cables are for. Basic computer maintenence.

gollark: They also gave people custom hardware (micro:bits), which probably isn't great either since people won't realize you can just do programming stuff on a regular home computer or laptop to automate annoying tasks and whatnot.

gollark: But then they only get taught random details about some car components, and then build cars out of paper.
