Más programación, por favor

En la entrevista de Tim Berners-Lee que comentaba ayer, Tim dedicó unos minutos a la importancia de que la gente aprenda a programar desde edades tempranas. Lo podemos leer en el artículo Berners-Lee calls for computer science education at a younger age:

Speaking in a video interview with World Economic Forum, Berners-Lee cautioned that while millions are using computer programs and using services like Twitter and Facebook, a low percentage of those users actually know how to code, or to understand why these tools and services work the way they do.

Berners-Lee also discussed the nature of IT education in schools, and criticised teaching bodies for giving children classes on how to use Microsoft Word, instead of teaching them how to get the most of of computers technically, or giving them the knowledge to code themselves.

Y en este otro artículo, Tim Berners-Lee: Coders can do incredible things, habla del mismo tema y ensalza la labor que realizan los programadores:

Sir Tim Berners-Lee has called for better education in computer science to give more children the ability to do “whatever they can imagine” with a computer.
