My Opinion of Why Johnny can't code:

m posted December 28, 2009

/Why Johnny can't code/ is an essay by Salon.com writer David Brin relating the story of he and his son facing the commoditized personal computing market. Brin laments the exclusion of any quick and simple programming environment sold with modern personal computers. The essay shows the clear distinction and market-focus of the personal computing industry post technological revolution when most computer users no longer want to understand technology as opposed to pre-Internet age where computers were limited to the technologically inquisitive.
