Surprise: Even Today, Not All Students are Tech Savvy

[citation][nom]Yuka[/nom]Bad programming can really really kill you; working in Software programming for hospitals and machinery, I can tell you first hand, that a computer can most definitely kill you when misused or not fully understood. A simple computer bug can kill you nowadays.For example, if a car's ECU starts injecting more fuel instead of cut it when you hard-break, that won't turn out right (not exactly the best description, but you know what I mean).Cheers![/citation]
I qualified my comment with the word "readily", those who are not tech-savvy are unlikely to be developing code for computer platforms, however a casual car user puts those in adjacent vehicles in danger quite readily.

LOL my GF thinks shes a tech savy yet shes clueless on hardwares in computers. So shes a prime example of all other "supposedly" tech savvy people when they arent! Smartphones and Tablets arent even considered tech savvy because they were simplified for simple user inferface how the hell do that make you a savvy when it was dumbed down to start with. IF you can FIX things technical wise then you are SAVVY period. anybody can pick up photoshop and start screwing around same goes for facebookers. Seriously, now I see why people are dumb due to those labels to make themselves feel smart when in reality mentally disabled people are actually smarter.

It's not about what you think you know, it's about what you know you don't know...

I figured this article about be about how most students don't know how these piece of equipment functions. They just go along with "Magical". To be honest, I think this should be taught to everyone, needs to be common knowledge, like how a combustion engine works. I may not know the function to a T, but I know enough to understand it.

What percentage of students know how to program?

I know there's a few kids in my academy who know little to nothing about computers, and my academy is all about computers. We only have a few kids who have a bit of programming knowledge. We even have some idiots too, I've asked one of them what operating system they were running and he said Dell.

"Tech savvy" doesn't mean you only know how to post on Facebook and Twitter.
