I know about the tech industry in that I follow what apps are hot and software development. I know my way around different browsers. I know how to restart a computer.
We just think it's important that everybody have some technical training and background. Even though not everybody is coding but even our deals team and our designers all have GitHub accounts and they go into the code base.
I'm quite techy and gadgety.
I'm not a geek about equipment, I just know what I like.
Whether we're fighting climate change or going to space, everything is moved forward by computers, and we don't have enough people who can code
The creative industries tend to dismiss technology as just something to buy and not understand how hard it is and how creative it can be as well.
If you don’t use a technology, you will never understand it.
I think the phrase 'computer-literate' is an evil phrase. You don't have to be 'automobile-literate' to get along in this world. You don't have to be 'telephone-literate.' Why should you have to be 'computer-literate'?
I'm really rubbish with technology; I'm super backward! I think I got a mobile phone last out of all my friends. I really worried about people being able to get hold of me at any time - I really hated that idea.
We don't have a lot of technology people in Congress, so one of the basic things is to help people be educated on how technology works: what's there, where is it headed, what some of the challenges and opportunities are.
I think everyone should learn how to code.
We think coding should be required in every school because it's as important as any kind of second language.
Kids automatically teach each other how to use technology, but they're not going to teach each other about the history of democracy, or the importance of taking their voices into the public sphere to create social change.
I think everyone should get a little exposure to computer science because it really forces you to think in a slightly different way, and it's a skill that you can apply in life in general, whether you end up in computer science or not.
I would never have called myself tech-savvy.
Encourage public schools to teach American children how to code just after they learn to multiply.
