Just to be clear: a subset of kids learned. Most kids bounced right off that interface and never returned.

@jannem@fosstodon.org @aj@gts.sadauskas.id.au @odr_k4tana@infosec.exchange @Gargron@mastodon.social that's more or less my point indeed. I can open a computer and do all that that I did in the 80s, 90s and 2000s, but it's not a requisite anymore,... until it is. So there's less incentives to learn. Kids don't need to learn to code to use a computer. Yet they still can. But they have to be educated about the value of learning for the sake of it, and put the time and effort on it instead of doomscrolling. Like we tinkered instead of doing whatever else.
