Jason Bradbury Believes Coding Lessons In Schools Are a Waste of Time (trustedreviews.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Famous TV personality Jason Bradbury, who hosts The Gadget Show, believes that the UK government is wasting its time trying to teach kids learn how to code. In a recent interview, he said, 'My kids won't need to code because soon computers will just code for them. I fundamentally disagree with the government initiatives to get my kids coding. It's a complete waste of time. Soon startups will just be run by really creative people -- there won't be a coder with bad social skills stood on the stage. The future will just be about being creative. This is why we need to challenge STEM and introduce an art component and rename it STEAM -- science, technology, engineering, art and maths."

Don't worry, the Morlocks will take care of it for them... and they barely eat any of the Eloi at all.

He's probably never written a line of code in his life.
