with tertiary educators in the hard sciences (Physics, Astronomy,
Chemistry, etc.) who note that even the geeks?those who voluntarily choose
to major in hard sciences?enter university never having programmed a
computer. When I was in grade six, the Commodore PET came out, and I
jumped at the opportunity to learn how to program it. Now, evidently, most
high school computer classes are about Word (tm) and Excel (tm). Is this a
bad thing? Should we care?" Do you think the desire to program computers
has declined in the younger generations? If so, what reasons might you
cite as the cause?"
