Wow what a Dad... gets the kids a computer and says if you wanna play games you need to program them
One that now has sons that are millionaires
That's what came in my mind
@Kiki Jiji My grandpa did the same with my dad with our old commodore in the 80s. It's not so far fetched. There's still programs on that machine my dad wrote when he was 11. He's not particularly brilliant. I wrote flash actionscripts for fun when I was 8. It's not that hard. People just don't see the point or don't have the patience.
@@___xyz___ i learned how to program commodore 64 on my own !!!!! and English in the process :)
@@___xyz___ the progamming laguages in the old days are far more difficult than those we have today! programming languages like assembly and basic which is the langauges of the comodore 64 check it out
The way he compares Computer Science to other subjects like Math and English is really interesting because it allows us, who aren't coders, to understand his arguments.
Great talk!
He convinced me. I used to be the "naw this isn't for me" person, and now it's becoming more and more relevant
Me: Yeehhh I can code
Computer: "Hello world"
Shiro Where is the exclamation mark?
@@1b0o0 Yee uhm. My mom forgot to tell me where the exclamation mark was when she taught me this
Álvaro Ybáñez,
But what you didn’t know, is that they did it with a Wii Remote
Just a Wii remote, nothing else
We can all do hello world 🌏
I'm 27, I never finished college but always wanted to get a degree. Now I'm planning to go back to college and this video (plus previous research done) has made me want to pursue computer science! Growing up I never knew this was a career option, I'm so glad kids are learning this at a young age.
Everything you said is part of my story too Estephanie. I'm putting my everything into this. Let's do this
you do some job or business for your expenditures.
@@yoshreimi you do some job or business for your expenditures.
How’s it going so far?
Do you know any programming languages?

"coding and bodybuilding" -> This is what I am doing right now. 🙌😂
@@iLoveTurtlesHaha C'mon!!!! Just 5 more loops! Push that memory allocation!
I am weightlifting while listening to this TedTalk talking about coding
"It's their favorite subject, because it makes school real and relevant". God, I wish I knew back then. This is exactly how I feel about computer science courses I take on today.
Thanks for this video.
He speaks in simple tone but content is inspirational.
I wish i learned coding in school :( i'm learning now in college and i really like it.
🙌 I agree it's a lot of fun.
What language are you learning
The schools in our country don't teach children to code. I am a school going student and I am learning programming by myself through youtube and different websites. Not only me but also some of my friends are also learning programming by themselves.
we were introduced to programming world with QBASIC as early as 8th grade...
@@azmainkhan9998 I’m going to do this
Programming is like magic! I love it. Learn to code!
I wish I had the ability to. I'm too old for that
@@sea-goatbr7588 ur be too old when ur dead got up and do it
Im about to learn to code!
@@sea-goatbr7588 are there here coding classes
Spauzy ... are 56 year old neurons too old. I have no experience with it ... but it seems like it could wake something up.
Proud of Ali and Hadi Partovi.
So Underrated. The content is so great
What an inspiring Talk.
His presentation is so understandable. Great!
The Commodore *VIC-20* was the first computer mum and dad bought for us - and I loved it death. 😆
Commodore 64!!! And I do remember that they made a smaller computer as well . I think It was white, not grey like the 64.
thank u ali partovi, I'm going to learn coding now :)
This really spoke to me, my whole entire life ive wanted to be a motivational speaker and spead a good message for people. but this is something that i want to help be a part of. i want everyone to have access to this creative thinking from learning a new skill. man i struggled with finding my creativity in math and English but as soon as if found out about coding its gone crazy!
Thank you
Great contents! Thanx Ted
so inspiring...
Really proud
👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is great! and really motivational.. Baffled that this video only got this little views.
This is a very good presentation. Very informative and educational.
My Autistic son is in 4th grade and he is just starting it. He loves it but never has enough time with it due to he runs out of time and that upsets him and the rest of his day is horrible. Wish we had a program at him for him.
Now, that's my project. I have decided.
never have I watched a 15 min TEDx continuously without getting bored, anyways, Imma show this to my mom
I hope they start teaching all kid programming.
very good talk
Amazing
JazaKallah brother for great talk.
Jazakallahu khairan brother...it's good to see that you promoting/practicing something good & valuable for akhirah.
very informative
Absolutely necessary for every self-employed person and a need that is not taught in school in order to make your mind grow
Why do you say its needed for self-employed people? That's an interesting idea
great...
Perfect🙏
I loved my Commodore 64!!!
Iran is a land of many talents, sadly ruled by a brutal government.
Great
wow !
You want to play games, create yourself, a great assignment.
Yeah that's a good idea
I need to teach kids at my school how to code
You could make all these arguments for the arts that kids like more by default
Today we are living in the information age, the fourth industrial revolution, everything moves fast. There are so many exciting possibilities out there, mobile supercomputing, self-driving cars, internet of thing, machine learning, genetic editing, farming, sport, and many more that enhance life tremendously. Let our kids learn the new second language called Coding. A language between human and machine. Don't be afraid, it is not human versus machine, but it is people who know machine vs those who do not. Remember Charles Darwin (1809): "It is not the strongest or the most intelligent that survives, but the one most responsive to change" .
About 5 years back, when I was in 11th, I started learning Computer Science and I didn't even realise when U fell in love with it. It kinda give me a DIRECTION.
Hey, I recently started coding and I live in india, guessing you too live here. I had a few questions regarding the academics, career path and the benefits in the Indian society (basically every teen's doubt). So i was just wondering if u could help me out, maybe on reddit, cause yt comment replying is bs. Thanks so much 😊
I'm going to get my kids into coding and Kung Fu at an early age so they can become superheros.
Skittles.
A lot of people dont understand that most games that are called "Useless" allow kids to have an engage in a creative experience without getting bored with it Minecraft a infinitely expanding world that lets kids create, code and construct what ever they want. Chess is considered a game but the strategy and understanding needed provides knowledge that sitting in a chair with a text book cant give someone. Games are amazing at teaching kids valuable lessons that are more engaging and entertaining then a class room can and maybe if schools took advantage of it we student could have a much more enjoyable time at school.
big brain boi
The most important thing in learning coding is; I don't know why should I code. I don't know anything about it but rather just following algorithm.
We built or develop preexisting software by using softwares.
I never understood; how was the first software built? How do machine learning and AI work? What if all software are vanished so how could we rebuild it!
This is the reason I never get interested in anything but asking philosophical questions because no one talks about it; how do really a stuff work? Neither in classical learning nor in so called modern tech learning.
No curiosity is satisfied ...
Im starting classes in summer
could adding caption for not mother language in English
Is computer science hard? Yes! But I still think it should be taught. Heck, I think science is harder than computer science. In year 8 we were learning how to program games on scratch and I absolutely loved it. Me and my friend used to code games in the first half of the lesson then the second half we would legit teach the entire class of how to code using scratch. I have no doubt in my mind that computer science should be a manditory subject throughout high school.
Here in India keep code aside we still don't have computers in school. I didn't have in my school either. But learning to program is future i think.
someone get him some water for gods sake!!!
👍
Your fear were because of ignorance and war ، you said rightly “unknown”.
The line I Ioved "When we fear Ayatullah"
Me too
That's goddamn true man
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I want this for my son
Such a motivational talk, thank you, however I must say I disagree with the part that programming is part of the curriculum in middle/high school in Iran.
P.S. I'm Iranian
Agora sim caralho!
hello I'm watching this for school learning can someone give me 3 things (important) to write about 😓 please
@Nove
Thanks that’s really helpful advise! (Even though I don’t remember anything since it’s been 11 months TwT”)
"Screentime is bad when it's used passively, when it's used to watch videos, or to play games"
Me watching this video while playing a game: Interesting
Make a computer program that when executed, hacks into the rocket system and re-navigates it back to where it came from.
Machines are not only for Mechanical engineer
Its for laid of journalists now too.
print("HELLO KITTY!")
console.log("Hello Rodrigo!")
System.out.println("Hello Earth");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Hello Africa");
Echo "HELLO KITTY" ;
But I'm soo good at drawing but I want coding money soo I'm lost and I can only pick one
IRANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
But Job don't know how to code according to Stephen Wozniak
lin2jack2 perhaps he learned later on?
he learned how to code at 20, he just didnt write code for apple (knowing enough to simply oversee projects).
Computer Science is brain time
Saving AWP is Jame time
I am surprised how many people think "coding" covers everything. In actuality, it essentially just means the act of typing in "code" with a keyboard. It does NOT include a vast majority of other aspects of software development, such as design, engineering, testing, database communication. etc. And how many people think they are "teaching themselves" when actually they are learning from authors, videos, etc. It'[s not like they are sitting in an IDE and just figure every thing out.
Literally, learning to code isn't enough, you also need to learn how to think in a logical and sensible way
That's not what self taught means
Qnd in the 80s, we were lucky to have an Apple to play games with at recess once a month😀 Most American families never heard of a computer, lets not even talk about affording one🤣
Your were saying about English is imagination an creativity but how you didnt give and example. So
Well, there's kind of the entire history of English speaking literature as an example, so...
Sadly much like math. It isn't something everyone or anyone can learn.
Some people just aren't made for it, like competing in the olympics.
Went to a high school specifically for computer technology and programming. Second year first class, more than half gives up and doesn't even try afterwards. And all he talked about was the basics and variables.
😶🌫️🥂
Get rid if the NEA and you will begin to make education great again.
When CS replaces Math...

😂😂😂this developed nations teaching their children computer Greek but am being taught introduction to computer in this African nations universities that's suppose to make you a Steve job😒😒😒👌.
This African leaders should stop joking😕😴.
Steve Jobs diet was mainly bananas, and lead to his death... Should we all copy that diet?
hit like if you love Pandas !
Why?
Well, just think about it; the USA is in number 33 as far as school teaching. Is crazy that the richest country in the world (not for long) has such a bad ratings in teaching, should be in the first 3 in the world, whoever they're at the moment.
Well, I see a problem there, you are giving the idea that grammar is necessary as base, like read and write are optional. When if fact, read and write are the essentials and grammar amongst other things in language learning is mostly worthless for your life.
Speaker is reflecting the fact that he is not a Liberal Arts Major, but at one point was a "wannabe" Liberal Arts Major. Computer Programming is not and never should be a Liberal Art -it should be part of a core curriculum required for each and every discipline. Just because you contrast a girl not wanting to give up her paintbrushes in your talk, it does NOT equal kids not wanting to be deprived of learning to code so that they make "games." The reason the United States is a foul country ideologically and morally is because all the people who have learned to code constantly make games for other people to buy. You DON'T have to play a game to enjoy something or to be disciplined in something! Concrete example: Fine Arts School discipline never included having to play a "game" in order to develop the left and right sides of the brain in preparation for drawing or painting. Lerning should be fun, yes, but stop filling the world with your idiotic ideals about "games" all the time, you coding people! Because of making so many "games" on screen is why people spend too much face time on the computer to begin with. now people expect to be "entertained" in order to get a proper education! Programming and Coding do NOT use the same areas of the brain as other Liberal Arts disciplines do, and there is currently a BRAIN IMBALANCE in modern people today because of the reliance on computer technology. You Geeks are so pumped on glorifying computer culture that you can't see the forest for the trees.
Your post is a lot of nonsense. No one ever said computer programming IS a liberal art - only that THEY VIEW it as such. There is a difference. The rest of your comment seems pointless and looks like a run on sentence, so I'm not even going to bother reading it.
@@iLoveTurtlesHaha I love you too, sunshine.
I have no idea where this comment even came from. lIke- People on the internet are so brainbumb sometimes
Dump art. Dump social studies.
You can't "dump" these subjects either. If you don't have anything meaningful to say, stay out of the conversation. These subjects are all important and studying them makes us become better humans. The more you study computer science, the more you understand how ALL art is important, because you can merge the two and create enriching experiences for humanity.
Dump sports.
i really enjoy this presentation, how do i connect with you Sir? please provide me your email address
Thank you Ali... Saving the Human Race... Inskytechnologiesllc. ... commmm
