The Shift to Computational Thinking
Choose the best available option to get your job done effectively.
Useful innovation should be adjusted to.
Innovation in technology, in some areas, has gone beyond the capabilities of people. People should adjust to that fact – and embrace it. If your priority is progress, always choose the best available option to get your job done effectively. If that is through technology, learn to master, not avoid it.
To master much of what modern technologies have to offer, one has to master a new framework of thought: computational thinking. Computational thinking’s “intellectual core is about formulating things with enough clarity, and in a systematic enough way, that one can tell a computer how to do them.” 1
Master it. Get your job done.
