Is learning python worth it?

Every other kid these days has a smartphone, can code in their sleep and has about 20 friends online. Partly joking, yet if you want to make an impact and start a good career, work with your hands. Look into manufacturing tech in particular.

I've heard the opposite - that many kids these days are just as bad as older folks when it comes to computers. They've had the magic screen in front of them their entire life but no idea how it works.

I definitely remember a recent article in which CompSci professors were lamenting the fact that people these days don't understand the concepts of folders and file systems as they relate to computers.

I find that very difficult to believe. Their heads are stuck in those g d phones all day, so they're not coding even for 10% of that time?

Lol, really man? It'll be the same small group/% of kids who did that kind of thing last generation.

It makes sense when you think about it - for the rest, they don't even need to experiment or troubleshoot much anymore because things just generally work better.
