There's just this idea that the kids will like naturally learn how to read and some kids might, but a lot of kids won't necessarily learn how to read and they'll end up, you know, not having reading level nearly what their peers and it'll be like a huge kind of like

crushing weight on their shoulders like i'm not good at reading right and they'll carry that with them and i feel like it's the same thing with technology like people people certainly have this with math you know i never learned how to do math and they always feel bad about themselves and they're always intimidated whenever they're like reading a book and there's some math or something like that whenever they look at some equation that even the most simple equations when they're walking around the science museum and they're just

You know, they get this anxiety and people, same thing with software, right? I don't know. I don't really know how a web server works. I don't really know what garbage collection is doing. You know, like, like it's just that in the back of your mind, you're just kind of like unsure of yourself. Right. And so if over the course of 600 years,

There are still people when they have had this relatively abundant thing that they could read mass market, right? 600 years. Like it's going to be a very long time before technology literacy is solved. And before everybody can just feel confident in that, they understand how recursion works and things like that. Right.

And I do think that these are things that people in start, like I always look at a Star Trek. And I realize that it's flawed in the sense that it's, you know, like just kind of this vision from the 70s. And then we got interpolated through the 90s with Next Generation and Voyager and D6ix9, which is the best one.

According to Andrew Brown, big Trekkie and massive contributor to Free Code Camp, he's created like 50 certification preparation courses on our YouTube channel.

but I realized that it's just like kind of a sci-fi vision of the future but it makes practical sense like a lot of the things in that show I can see that's where we're heading we're heading toward computers where you just talk and you can use declarative speech instead of imperative speech And the machine is just gives you a lot more affordance in figuring out what you, what needs to be done.

Right. And you know, if you watch the expanse, like there's lots of AI, but it's not everywhere and they're not like talking to AIs and stuff. It's just like doing the little things like recalibrating the turrets on the ship and stuff like that. Right. And, and I, I think, That 100 years from now, if we want to talk 100 years, let's just choose a big round number. People are still going to exist.

We're probably not going to be all walking around in exosuits. I will be impressed if we've terraformed Mars at all by then. I just genuinely don't think that there's the political will and the budget and all that stuff. And I think that people greatly underestimate how difficult it will be, like colonized space and stuff like that. I think realistically, we're still going to be here.

Hopefully we'll have done some stuff to mitigate climate change and mitigate job loss due to automation and stuff like that. But people are still going to need to learn. People are still probably going to need to work and figure out a way to make money. I don't believe that UBI is coming to save us universal basic income or anything like that.
