Yesterday, I talked with my mom about programming.
"And what can you do with this... programming?"
"Erh..."
I seriously didn't know where to start. I obviously didn't want to say: "Effing aaaaanything!" - so I said "Lots of useful things!"
Then I showed her one of my projects I did while learning Python. She thought it was fun, but then she thought that you could do *only* these kinds of projects.
*sigh*
Perhaps I'll give her a beginner friendly book about coding to her birthday.
@TQ Going through the world and pointing out everything that has code in it somewhere and talking about making it better? Grocery stores, gas pumps, how fast the lights turn green in response to walk buttons or buses or ambulances or traffic jams...
