History of communication has had the phases of making symbols, writing text, and developing programs although i was thinking of puting hypertext in there but then again that is part of the way of writing as it was already in use thousands of years ago. Side notes in scriptures served as hyperlinked paragraphs.

One of my predictions for the future sees kids learning programming in schools just as we learn writing.
I also see a similarity in how Christians taught common people to write in their schools and that changed The Roman Empire and made it fall.
Would programming skills cause the same for the Western civilization i ponder? Perhaps a transformation.
Programmers have allowed many insights on the the hidden rules of the world and the paradigm of mappers(creative innovators, rule makers) and packers (behaving habit addicts). Perhaps this will get more people through a barrier of the mundane one day and join in on creativity.

Estonia has started an agenda to teach programming from primary school. Although England already tried to teach programming BASIC to everyone and the program was later discontinued.
