Linda Liukas: A delightful way to teach kids about computers (script)
The speaker had a crush on an old man: Vice President of the United States, Mr. Al Gore.
Summary
I also thought that it's too complicated to explain about computer. Only adults could use it. However, the speaker said that it's neither magic and complicated. However, computer code is the next universal language. When there is a little bit fancy user interface, we will be programmers. Then kids will live up in a world where everything is a computer and they now tap, swipe and pinch their way through the computer world. Next step, it'll be better to be creators more.  Tell the kids, "You can change to make anything into a computer," "There are no right answers," "The world is definitely not ready yet, you can change it," "This is a really awesome way that makes the world more ready. It's by building technology and this is the programming that gives you the amazing power.
Words in this story
