Everyone Should Learn Some Programming
From an article on Brane Dump:
This, in my opinion, is why everybody (literally, every single person) should learn to program at some fairly simple level, like learning to read and write. By using plain text and small scripts, I've got a workflow that works for me, and it's cost me less time than I'd spend learning some large pre-written app and putting all my data into it. Being able to manipulate data like this is, I think, a fairly important tool in the modern world, and I don't think it should be left to any sort of priesthood of developers — it should be as universal as most countries try to make literacy and numeracy.
I couldn't agree more with this, however I think it's a bit of a stretch of the imagination to think it'll ever happen — more so when you read stuff like this.
