I have a close friend whose 17 year old is headed to college this fall. He got accepted into a computer engineering program.
He's very bright and enthusiastic, but his exposure to computing is alien to me: Roblox and tablets. Never built a PC. Never heard of Linux.
So I have to wonder, what will his generation of computer engineers be like? Will they go on to design and build things we can't dream of? Or is the lack of "computing" in their formative years a setback?
I guess we'll see.
