Code.Org

With the technological world growing as fast as it is, code is quickly becoming the official language of the world. With the amount of technology we use on a daily basis, haven't a majority of us once thought about the time and effort that goes into creating the software and applications that we hold so dear? Code.Org is a movement to teach kids programming. I for one fully support this movement. As I mentioned before, we have such a firm grasp on technology these days that it can do nothing but benefit a person to learn to code. As a friend once said to me while talking about college majors and jobs in the future, "If you know how to program, you pretty much have a job by the time you get out of college." Of course this is a bit of an exaggeration, but as mentioned in the movement, tech companies are a huge necessity in our growing world and can be pretty lofty careers. I also was pleasantly surprised to see that Gabe Newell was one of the many people supporting this movement, as I have used his social gaming program, Steam, for the last couple of years now. While we may not need a whole generation of code monkeys, programming is definitely something that everyone should at least understand in our expanding business world revolving around the latest tech fascinations and gadgets.
