John, Pat, and Chris share about how Mark Zuckerberg Facebook Founder, Bill Gates, Microsoft Founder and many others are joined together to promote that children learn computer coding in schools. Code.org shares on their site that by 2020 there will be 1.4 million computer jobs and only 400,000 computer science students. They also site that 9 out of 10 schools don’t even offer computer programming classes. John, Pat, and Chris continue to remind us that we are going to see rapid developments in technology over the next 5 to 7 years and that now is the time to seize the moment. They also encourage us to introduce our children to coding and give them the opportunity to create games instead of just playing them. Imagine how much good can be done with this technology and how gospel can continue to be shared in new, creative and innovative ways.
