so a lot of people my age (early to mid 20s) sort of “get” computers intuitively from so much use growing up in the age before smartphones, even things beyond normal use
do you think kids growing up now will still have this considering the rise and dominance of the smart phone?
As an educator who focuses on techno-criticism, I have an answer to this question, but it is complex. The short version is, “Yes and no, in ways you may find subtle and surprising!”
BLUF: They might not, the way things are going now; if they do, it could still go very, very wrong; but if we swing it just right, they will and it will be good. However, the likelihood that we swing it just right goes down the less we understand about how we got to where we are now.
