I'm suddenly realizing that nothing will end up making kids more technically savvy than they already often are compared to whatever generation that preceded them (with rare exception,) than saying "you can't go on ready-made social media." They will vibe, if not manually, code a parallel internet.

Some NPR podcasts started getting mysterious comments on Spotify. They made no sense to the staff reading them – until someone from a younger generation cracked the code. Hear the story: link.podtrac.com/78g1b584

Nothing will create a "learn to code"-environment as a voluntary endeavor, one which certain young people will throw their entire focus into, so long as they have access to hardware, faster than saying "no, you are not allowed to use this to talk to your friends," & it will entirely lack oversight.
