Apparently less than half a percent of the worlds population knows how to code. All the software you use, and almost everything you've ever seen with modern technology are generated from this small subpopulation. Now, imagine if that number doubled to 1% of the worlds population. Theoretically there would be as much as twice as much software produced (although less certainly). Now imagine if that number was closer to the world literacy rate of 85%. You think the world wouldn't dramatically change when each and every person can take their given task, job, hobby, whatever, and create helpful software for themselves? I think it would be like The Jetsons.
