Episode notes

A lot of innovation is communicated pretty quickly to whan it happens, through people who are looking to teach or become influencers. I think if we could integrate technology in that way, education actually wouldn't be as far behind. A steve job qote says computers are like the bicycle of the mind. And i really liked this framing because just because you have bicycles doesn't mean you have to use them.

As technology becomes more ingrained in our daily lives, the question must be posed: how important is it for people to “keep up” technologically. In this episode, Steph makes a case for the importance of tech literacy and how she believes that with time, technical literacy will be viewed in a similar vein to written and oral literacy today. Calvin and her walk through how people can start dipping their toes into technology, why it matters, and discuss what skills may fade with time.
