  Moved to the Lounge.   ;  Try searching on terms for Computer Literacy. You could also check out User Error: Resisting Computer Culture. The author tends to repeat herself A LOT, blames programmers for far too much, and prescribes wholly untenable solutions to the problems she identifies, but that doesn't make the problems any less real.   ;  I was thincking more along the lines what would be postive things that people would gain if they learned ho to program   ;  My intimation was that it would help people address the issues mentioned in the book.   ;  People should learn to program because programming = thinking logically and it would be nice if people thought logically.   ;  It is not within human nature to think logically. It is a trait that must be learned. :)   ;  I would have to agreee but if someone thinks too logicaly then some times they miss the point   ;  People should learn to program if they want to create, understand or modify an application (either personal reasons, prototyping ideas or as a career).  Short of that or to satisfy curiosity, I can't think of any other reason why someone SHOULD learn to program.   ;  I can honestly say that most (CS and non-CS) college courses have been probably five times easier for me than most of my peers simply because I had such extensive programming experience from junior high and high school. It taught me two things: (1) how to think logically; (2) how to teach myself new material. Most college students can't do either upon entering college.
