a computer-illiterate society in a computer-driven world is a peasantry. until you understand programming basics, software is something that is done to you rather than for you. programming is very simply the best way to understand computers. without that its tough to follow politics, technology, even to do simple things like manage your collection of e-books. there is not much question left how important it is to literacy. learn one programming language: any language. (if you enjoy it, learn at least two.)
