    Google has become useless other than for clueless teens.

    Actually, clueless teens are used by google to hone advertisement-matching skills against all.

  13. Re:Coding: Language Skills on Australia's Prime Minister Doesn't Get Why Kids Should Learn To Code · · Score: 1

    Learning to code is like learning a second language.

    Speaking from experience, I learned c# in elementary, and, yes, it's like a native language to me (albeit structured, not natural, still). Not so with C++ or Spanish.

    ... but then, kids who are interested in making their own computer programs should be allowed to do so

    I think this is what the prime minister is trying to argue: most 11-year-olds just lack the cognitive functions to engineer software. It doesn't mean they can't write code, just not engineering software, because software engineering requires an architect, designer, lead programmer, and night-shift-programmer.

  24. Learn to think on Ask Slashdot: What Tech Skills Do HS Students Need To Know Now? · · Score: 1

    I'm 15. At my high school, adolescents are just beginning to realize that they have the ability to genuinely think for their own in the creative arts. This skill is important in life. In conjunction with free thought, concentration, deep memory, and logical reasoning can be gained from chess. Make a chess club at a school, then a few nerds will come and play, more non-nerds will come to socialize, and soon you'll be inculcating the cognitive milestones taught in chess to an entire generation. It's not about what skills high-school students need. It's about what thought processes they need.
