Programming: The New Literacy

This author of this article basically enlightens the audience on what is the term literacy and its transformation in definition through out the years. With that there explaining how programming will take over as the new definition or would be added along with the written and spoken language of being literate. The tone of the author sounded like they were experienced in the topic and maybe was an athoritive figure in the field to explain the extent of how programming is changing the functions of communication and language throught personal use, work and school. Also there is like an ergency to go and find out more because the author said to do it and if you don't then you'll be left. There wasn't really a lot of media used to help emphasize the topic, that being since it was on technology there's so much more that could have been added. Like as he went from defining the term into giving examples of what programming is, to how it used in everyday life, how the younger generation munipulates it and learns the trades at a very young age and how the older generation depend heavily on the younger one and can be at a disadvantage now in cost but that same generation will increase the business' or society's advantages as well, "But as today's kids grow up and become tomorrow's educated adults, most will go much further."

Overall if I were to write on a topic as such, I would definitely add in more media such as pictures to depict the actual functions that I would explain programming has on society and the business world on a whole. I wouldn't give it such a demanding tone or ergency to go and do it or be sorry, but more like go and research yourself and have fun with it and embrace the change as it is our future and add in some experiences as well. Not just being a long old blog that by just glancing seems so long and boring.
