Think of the most common things we use in a day. Things without which we cannot imagine our life at all. I bet the first thing that comes to our minds is our phones and computers.  Our phone, laptop, at work, and computer at home are very important to us and why not? All our world is practically stored in these devices in the form of data in various applications and platforms. can we estimate the number of times we use android or computer applications in a day? Most probably not, because the frequency of the use is really high. Isn’t it weird that even though, we use these things so casually in our daily lives, just like a habit, the working of these devices and applications is not well-known to us?   

Knowledge of things around us helps us to make better use of them. In today’s world where technology plays such an important role in our daily lives, it is a necessity for us to learn and know more about it for the sake of better utilization.

The future is of the machines and those machines will definitely need humans at the very base, to program them. This is one of the numerous reasons why children must learn programming from a young age. We can’t run away from the fact that computer programming is becoming an essential in every work sector. Be it teaching, engineering, or entertainment, computer programs are needed to cater to the needs of different sectors in order to make their work easier. Being such versatile devices, computers possess the power to increase the productivity of any sector that they are used in. In such a scenario, programming has a lot of current as well as, future scope. People in this service providing sector are never going to run out of jobs!

But why should we urge children to learn programming while they are young? Well, programming is more than just learning creepy syntax and writing it on a console for the machine to understand. Programming is pure logical reasoning! Learning to reason correctly is something that even grown humans fail to do because they are never taught the right craft in their early years, that could make their minds sharp enough to reason logically and correctly.

Having children learn coding at a young age prepares them for the future. Not only this, learning new skills that enhance their knowledge and understanding helps children to stand out. It also increases their confidence.

Coding helps children with communication, creativity, math, and writing.

In today’s digital age, coding is a basic literacy. It is really important for kids to understand and be able to work with the technology around. Learning to code and being able to program will give them the power to turn their ideas and imaginations into reality. It’ll make them see the world through a whole different perspective and help them become inventors from just being mere observers.
