    I’ve heard this from other educators as well! What do you think the ramifications are down the line with people knowing less and less about how computers actually function?

    I mean, I guess mechanics have jobs because most people know how to use a gas pedal and steering wheel, but not how an internal combustion engine works?

      What’s an internal combustion engine? But seriously, this is pretty worrying. People will just consume whatever is put before them and not care about where it comes from or who controls it.
