Computers are a very recent invention. Learning material about them in school is even more recent as schools convert more into the digital space, and the need to adapt can be unsettling to many. However, the need to learn about the inner workings of the software and hardware is necessary to advance, and being brought more into the mainstream. 

Software projects are becoming more and more impressive because of how complex they can be. With computers being so new, this generation has the opportunity to pioneer and innovate new grounds in this field. The transition into digital media usage causes more need for jobs in the industry, making educational courses in it necessary.

"If I end up starting my own website in the future, which, hopefully I get to, I could use these skills to make my own website and broadcast my place online," said a website design student. Because the future has technology in its path, the option stays open to anyone who has prospects of creating something digital.
