I get the feeling that computer literacy is decreasing. We are getting a lot more "screen" users, the majority of whom are doomscrolling or swipe left/swipe right zombies. People that need everything dumbed down for them and just consume, consume, consume. This is dangerous for our society as a whole. A world where you grow up surrounded by digital devices but are only mindlessly fed content through them is a dystopia. We need more tinkerers. We need more curiosity. We need more hackers.

Check out this. Absolutely agree! My son, who has autism but fortunately is quite adept at logical and repetitive tasks, has a keen interest in computer science. It’s frustrating that his school decided to cut the CS program because some students found it too challenging. While computer science isn't easy, eliminating it undermines the future potential of students who are passionate about creating and innovating. At 14, I'm teaching him CS myself using whatever resources we can find online. Schools should be places of learning, regardless of the difficulty, especially if there are students who are eager to tackle the challenges. Sometimes, it's not the kids but rather lazy teachers who don't know how to support and inspire a love for the subject or effectively transfer their knowledge. We can't let our society devolve into 'scroll zombies' as you mentioned. We need to support and provide opportunities for those eager to learn and excel.
