In the 1980s, I was one of three kids chosen to learn coding on a prototype computer in Ontario. It was supposed to change our future—but it didn’t. Not because we lacked potential, but because no one had taught us how to think first.
This is a story about why technology alone can't save education. Why screens can't replace structure. And why before we teach kids to code, we need to teach them how to be conscious, literate, and human.
This isn't just a critique of Western design in developing countries—it's a wake-up call for all of us.
