I spent some time reading from Douglas Rushkoff&#8217;s book, &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/programorbeprogrammed.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Program or Be Programmed<\/a>&#8220;. The entire book is about how important it is to learn programming. Today, this article (link above) lands in my inbox. It claims to lay out the &#8220;The 33 Digital Skills Every 21st Century Teacher should Have&#8221;. They&#8217;re not bad. I might even agree with most of them &#8211; except of course that every last one could be combined into one single skill: <em><strong>Use current tools to teach effectively.<\/strong><\/em> As cheerless as that is, that&#8217;s not even the most disturbing part.<\/p>\n<p>What is so deeply disturbing is not what&#8217;s there, <em><strong>but what&#8217;s NOT<\/strong><\/em>. Note how many times the following words appear:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>use [19]<\/li>\n<li>create [7]<\/li>\n<li>understand [1]<\/li>\n<li>write [0]<\/li>\n<li>program [0]<\/li>\n<li>code [0]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This article is encouraging teachers to become even more entrenched as mere users than they already are now. The article says almost nothing about actually understanding any of this technology. The sad (and dangerous) truth is that the vast majority of people who write these articles &#8211; usually with the best of intentions &#8211; have really no idea how any of the tools in which they claim expertise work.

learning how to program was the only way to really get involved in the evolving digital world. That&#8217;s no longer true, but learning to program is more important now than it was 35 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"RU\">To quote Rushkoff, By learning to program, we <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span lang=\"RU\">&#8220;came to understand what programming is, how programmers make decisions, and how those decisions influence the ways the software and its users function. For us, as the mysteries of computers became the science of programming, many other mysteries seemed to vanish as well. For the person who understands code, the whole world reveals itself as a series of decisions made by planners and designers for how the rest of us should live. Not just computers, but everything from the way streets are organized in a town to the way election rules are tilted for a purpose (vote for any three candidates) begin to look like what they are: sets of rules developed to promote certain outcomes. Once the biases become apparent, everything becomes possible. The world and its many arbitrary systems can be hacked.&#8221; [p.134]<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>What was once a transparent tool, has become so obfuscated by interfaces and &#8216;helpers&#8217; under the guise of &#8220;user friendliness&#8221; that most users no longer have any idea how the actions they request are actually carried out.<\/p>\n<p>Remember how the computer refereed to the &#8216;user&#8217; in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1104001\/combined\" target=\"_blank\">Tron <\/a>with both fear and reverence? That was because they KNEW how to control the machine. The original storyline was written 30 years ago when you had to be a programmer to use a computer.<\/p>\n<p>These days, most users know as much about how the software works as a medieval peasant knew about disease. Re-booting your machine, whether it be a PC or a cellphone has become the same sort of action as blood-letting. Sometimes, it fixes the problem, but if it does, it is complete magic.<\/p>\n<p>If you think that those peasants were at the mercy of the aristocracy of the day (who were, by and large, the only people with an education), it is nothing compared to today. Only today&#8217;s aristocracy aren&#8217;t the programmers &#8211; they are those who run the software companies.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the wonders of modern technology though, every person with access to a computer has the option of being more than a peasant.
