     @evan Don't get me wrong, basic computer skills are a necessity these days but I see that as a long way off from "everybody has to know how to program"

     @evan The thought that everybody has to align themselves to the machine. It's dehumanising. Most people will never be more than users/consumers anyway and personally I think it's good if we have (lots of) people around who don't see everything in computer terms...

     @garbageman how about, computers should be made so that everyone can program them?

     @evan You mean should be able to vs has to know how to? Different tone, but basically boils down to the same thing.
