Everybody over 20 and under 30, more like. Back in my day, computers had limited resources but were easy to program, and almost every child who got one tried his or her hand at BASIC programming. Some even went to machine language and tweaked the computer to their needs.
Now children are pampered with high-technology computers that they only ever use for playing games or chatting on the net. They wouldn't know a programming language if it bit them.
