• Charlie Stross list of items to learn: we'd have young adults who recognized they were operating machinery, rather than magic boxes.
• Alan Cooper list of "technical groundings" realities, including Things like the most important thing in programming isn’t the tiny code details but the big picture stuff: why are we writing this? Who for? What is the purpose? How will it be used? How will it be understood? How will it be misused?
