Resumen
The article argues that declining costs of computation will make digital technology accessible to everyone in all parts of world, but a serious fluency gap would remain. There will be a need to bridge the digital divide in the world. Fluency with new technologies means knowing how to make things of significance with those tools. Computer should be used as a material for making things, but in most cases computers are rarely used for designing, creating and inventing. There is a need to develop a new generation of computer technologies worthy of the next generation of children. These new technologies should provide children with design leverage, enabling them to create things. In the future, computationally enhanced devices will be universal, pervasive and seamlessly networked with one another. The goal of computationally enhanced devices must be fluency for everyone. That will require new attitudes about computing and new attitudes about learning. If computers are to truly transform life in the future, there is a need to treat computational fluency on a par with reading and writing.
