Does anybody else daydream about teaching children in Africa about computers and programming? Like, you wake up in the savanna, the air already warm and smelling of dust and dry grass. You head to a small, brightly painted schoolhouse, the sounds of children's laughter already drifting on the breeze.
Inside, their eyes are wide with curiosity as you set up a few donated laptops. No fancy whiteboards or projectors here, just eager faces. You start with the absolute basics: what's a mouse? How do you turn it on? Soon, their small fingers are fumbling with the trackpads, navigating a simple paint program. The joy on their faces when they draw their first wobbly line, or type their name, is infectious.
Later, you introduce them to the magic of programming. Simple drag-and-drop blocks at first, making a character move across the screen. They shout with excitement, debating how to make their digital cat jump higher or their car drive faster. It's not about building the next big app; it's about opening a window to a world they never knew existed, sparking a curiosity that could change their lives.
You pack up as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery oranges and purples. The children wave goodbye, their goodbyes echoing with promises of "tomorrow!" You walk back, the vast, starry African sky above you, a quiet satisfaction settling in your chest. Just a daydream, maybe, but a powerful one.

Africa only looks good on the Serengeti documentaries narrated by David Attenborough. Where people live its just an unimaginable shithole, its fucking hot and it doesn't even look good
You're too normal to be posting on this shithole
>>105579470>>105579840I feel an overwhelming sense of sheer pity at the very thought of the sad, angry and hateful lives you guys live and the bitter thoughts you both have.
>>105579463 (OP)God bless OP for wholesomeness.
>>105579463 (OP)>It's not about building the next big app; it's about opening a window to a world they never knew existedhumans don't write like that
>>105579908They call me racist or sexist or homophobic, but you know what they never call me? A liar.
>>105579908Go ahead and try then. Prove us wrong. If they eat you don't get mad at us.
read about the "One Laptop Per Child" program, how that played out is pretty fucking funny
>>105579983didn't OLPC die because MS wanted those underpowered devices to use Windows XP or something?

Exquisitely written, OP.
>>105580071Profound gratitude I extend, my cherished confidant.
While I will say that the fruits of your creative writing session were nice to read, reality is usually much more disappointing.
The majority of the population just doesn't click with computers for reasons I can't understand. For example a friend of mine always asks about how to do whatever and I explain it yet he can't seem to figure out the patterns, when I try to describe patterns, she doesn't get it. "Look, this is preselected, when you hover over it explains what the pattern does, this button is highlighted so there is a reason it wants to catch your attention" and she just stares like "uuuuh-huuuuuh" meaning that she doesn't get it.
I am simply incapable of comprehending what there is to not understand. It all just makes sense
>>105580194They're not really interested, they just want it done.
>>105579463 (OP)>Does anybody else daydream about teaching children in Africa about computers and programming?no

theyre night and day
>>105579463 (OP)What the fuck are you talking about sirs?
It's a nice thought but i think you are putting the horse behind the cart. Or the cart ahead of the horse...? Anyhow. Start by teaching computers to build a robust computer culture, then start with programming. Walk before you run.
Teach the usual basics, office programs for spreadsheets, documents, presentations. Photo editing, video editing, sound editing. Talk about operating systems, safety and mail shit, scams, ads and privacy.
>>105579463 (OP)>Inside, their eyes are wide with curiosityThis is the part you wanted me to greentext, right?
>>105582452why? You are the second person to say this. Whats so weird about this phrase?
