@evan Everyone should take a course about how computers work.

Simple stuff. What's a hard disk, what's a USB, what's windows, what is a web browser, what are internet pages, what are apps, how they work and what in friggin' hell is this Cloud everyone keeps talking about.

I get it - not everyone was born to be a systems engineer, but at least learn the basics of what technology runs your daily lives, people!

I'm going to finish this post with a Carl Sagan quote:

We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
