For my 10th birthday, my parents bought me an unusual present: a class in computer programming. The year was 1980, and it’s safe to say that programming wasn’t something that most people did, let alone most elementary-school students. And it’s not as if my parents really knew much about computers, either. But they thought that I would enjoy it — and I did. The class took place in the back room of a local computer store. Every week, the instructor would spend an hour or two demonstrating elementary programming using the Apple II computer at the front of the room. The students were, so far as I can remember, businesspeople in their 30s and 40s, who believed that computers were the way of the future, and that learning to program was the way to succeed in that future. That class not only introduced me to programming, but got me hooked for life. There’s something magical about our ability to type text into a machine, and then have the machine execute our instructions. Sure, programming can be frustrating, and even maddening — but there’s almost nothing like the adrenaline rush you feel when a program works. And the fact that some of us can earn a living writing such code? Even better. In the 40 years since I took that class, the tech industry has changed in numerous ways: computers have gotten dramatically faster, with far more memory and storage than we could have imagined. Computers are connected to one another, not just on local networks, but to the internet. Mobile devices put incredible computing power into our pockets, allowing us to communicate, learn, pay, and travel with ease. And in just the last few years, artificial intelligence has gone from a research project to a trilliondollar industry, with repercussions for business and society that we cannot yet predict.
