“If you close your eyes and think about the world 10 years from now, it will be completely different,” Vedati said.“Kids will have computing everywhere. Doctors will be using computing to make decisions. Jobs will require more technology. … The new jobs that will be created won’t be just programming jobs. But can you think about organizing data? Information and computation is coming to every field.” And that, dear readers, is why your eight-year-old should be coding.
