A lovely rant about how our understanding of how technology works is woefully disproportionate to our near-constant immersion in it:
Why is it that “computer classes” are electives? Why is it that those enamored with video games are the only ones expected to understand the relationship between browser tabs and RAM? Why is it that those obsessed with science fiction, participating in chess club, or enrolled in AP classes are the only ones expected to understand the severities of hard shutdowns? Why should cookies, encryption, or battery drain be mysteries to anyone born into today’s world; mysteries to those touching unfathomable technology at 12-months-old?This is not STEM. This is fundamental. This is commonplace. This is home economics.
Worth a short read.
