I agree with this observation: "real computer revolution hasn't happened yet. We use very little of the computer's potential in our daily lives. Certainly, part of the problem there is the lack of enough good, usable software that taps into the real power of the computer (e.g., other than what-if games on Excel, what everyday-usable software has people building models and simulations?). Another way to look at the problem is that maybe we haven't taught people how to use the computer well." Me, I can code, make videos, edit audio, create animations, and more. If I need something, I make it. I get a lot of mileage out of my computer, and have created a career using it. But I had the advantage of learning some of the basic skills early in life. As larger segments of the population become computer-literate, as writing algorithms becomes as everyday as writing notes, the true impact of the computer will be realized.
