Nik Krasno | 19856 comments In line with Mehreen's futuristic thread, I wonder whether computeracy will become much more important than traditional literacy as we know it. I don't see one necessarily follow from the other. What do you think?

Nik Krasno | 19856 comments Western world seems to grow a little flaccid and cyber-:) Maybe others will follow suit. Wars (if existent) might indeed be fought on computer screens, kinda Ender's game
