Will the Push for Coding Lead to ‘Technical Ghettos’?

This article discusses the growing emphasis on coding education and its potential impact on society. It explores the idea that by promoting coding as an essential skill, we may inadvertently create a divide between those who have access to coding education and those who do not. The article argues that if coding becomes the new literacy, those who are not proficient in coding may be at a disadvantage, leading to a potential "technical ghetto." It raises concerns about the equity and accessibility of coding education, and suggests that we need to consider the broader implications of this push for coding as a widespread skill.
