Comment CS is like automobile tech in the '60s (Score 1) 36
A lot of kids will learn about it on their own, but many won't, so a little bit of high school CS training makes sense, so kids at least understand what an operating system is/does, and the same for databases, compilers, HTTP, etc. Not enough so that they could get a job doing it, but just so they've been exposed to concepts and can talk about it in layman's terms.
