Tobias Lutke Quotes

With the evolution of technology, kids really need to be computer-savvy.

One of the problems we've had is that the ICT curriculum in the past has been written for a subject that is changing all the time. I think that what we should have is computer science in the future - and how it fits in to the curriculum is something we need to be talking to scientists, to experts in coding and to young people about.

Therefore, you are not training young people for the world of today and the world of tomorrow unless you are doing proven technology training. That is one of the reasons I'm so concerned.

I don't come from this technology world.

Programs like ACE's Bootstrap Summer Camp teach our kids important computer coding skills that will allow them to design their own futures.

I did not grow up around computers, so technology was not a tool used every day in my household. I was drawn to computer science due to the creative nature of programming and the technology focus.

We need a lot more technically literate people. The computers are the tools that are going to solve essentially all problems, and the people who can use them better will be more effective.

I know nothing about technology.

I got interested in computers and how they could be enslaved to the megalomaniac impulses of a teenager.

I thank God for not making me a computer scientist.

I'm not a computer girl.

All of my friends who have younger siblings who are going to college or high school - my number one piece of advice is: You should learn how to program.

When people think about computer science, they imagine people with pocket protectors and thick glasses who code all night.

There aren't enough people out there that are becoming experts in technology as technology moves.

Code is just a list of instructions. There are countries that are teaching it as part of the core curriculum. Having some experience in those early years is very important.

Technology is a nerdy field. That's why I called myself a 'geek.' It requires a lot of training and encouragement at a very young age.

No matter how non-technical your life and work, you're going to have to interact with technology and technical people. If you know something about how devices and systems operate, it's a big advantage.

I've always been a serious computer nerd, as well as a biologist.

I wish I wasn't so technically challenged, because it puts you at a distinct disadvantage. I wish I could figure out a way to get more up to speed.

Computers rather frighten me, because I never did learn to type, so the whole thing seems extraordinarily complicated to me.
