M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
I'm still holding out for the CP underwear.

Coding shouldn't be mandatory, but computer usage should be. The more global issue is that the number of workers using computers but not understanding the basics of how they work and what they can and cant do. This should include the internet as well.
Agree 100%. And security should be like a third of the course. Viruses and how to avoid them. Malware attack vectors. Minimization and protection methods. Now that I think about it, computer classes should be a lot like STD classes: What to look for, what are the horrible, horrible things that could happen if you don't protect yourself, and how to properly protect yourself.
