...or, at least, if not programming, then the ability to fluidly adapt technologies to specific situations.  Thanks to the ubiquity of technology, tomorrow's generations will be stratified according to the depth of their understanding of technology.  Don't believe me?  Go browse the list of programming gurus who top Forbes' list of the world's richest people.

24.) Don't give the Joneses a second thought.  You haven't seen their credit history.

23.) When two people share something, let one person do the dividing, and let the other choose their portion first.

"The things you own end up owning you."
