Why learn about technology?
"Computing [and technology] is one of the most stimulating subjects out there... Here is a magic black box. You can tell it to do whatever you want, within a certain set of rules, and it will do it; within the confines of the box you are more or less God, your powers limited only by your imagination. But the price of that power is strict discipline: you have to be able to express it clearly in a formal, structured way that leaves no room for the fuzzy thinking and ambiguity found everywhere else in life."
Babbage, The Economist, August 26th 2010.
