Stephen Wolfram on Education - Dictionary of Arguments
Brockman I 280 Education/computer age/Wolfram: What [would] the world would look like if most people could code. Clearly, many trivial things would change: Contracts would be written in code (…), Brockman I 281 simple things like that would change. But much more profound things would also change. Take high school education. The raw material for a typical high school student’s essay is something that’s already been written; students usually can’t generate new knowledge easily. But in the computational world, that will no longer be true. If the students know something about writing code, they’ll access all that digitized historical data and figure out something new. Then they’ll write an essay about something they’ve discovered. The achievement of knowledge-based programming is that it’s no longer sterile, because it’s got the knowledge of the world knitted into the language you’re using to write code. >Inventions/discoveries, >Creativity, >Knowledge, >Learning, >Programming, >Computers.
