@Teri_Kanefield Do you think the Joint Chiefs would have played along with that?

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

@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...

@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 That is so depressing
