educamp - new way to teach kids

I went to educamp on 9-15 and the general discussion was over the new way to teach students.
One of the points that was brought up was that the majority of people in the next generation will predominantly use computers. Therefore, it would make sense to train kids to interface more efficiently with the computer. There was much debate over whether things like basic arithmetic and the 5 set sentence structure could be taken care of by software and we would only teach the students to interface with them. However the point was brought up, why do we need to teach children to accommodate computers?

Unfortunately, the session ended early because we were only allocated an hour. But I think they will do this more often in the future.
