Just finishing the book "Automate This: How algorithms came to rule the world"

I feel everybody should learn how to code/program in the future.
Just like English is the global-used global/universal language of today, C language or other computing language is will be necessary for our kids.

You can also refer to a "global language" as a "lingua franca". We borrowed it from latin, but it is essentially the "language of the day", or the "language of the people"; the "common tongue". Good luck.
