I would think basic computer literacy should be included in "the pursuit of STEM" itself, but instead it turned into having masses of students who have next to no interest in, and can barely turn on a computer, being forced into "learn to code" classes...

Elementary school for me in the ‘00s had a computer lab whose primary purpose was to teach how to use Word.
It’s also unclear given the general sorry state of education salaries in the US who we’d be getting to teach these classes. Most adults aren’t that computer literate either, and I doubt a high-falutin’ FAANG employee is about to work in an urban school with lead paint and asbestos for a ~50k salary, some of which you have to use to pay for chalk, tissues, paper towels and other basics of the classroom.

I used to get worried that Gen Z was coming for my job until I realized that just like I didn't learn anything that excited me for my career at school, they probably won't either. It's a crap shoot if you get the right skills at the right time when you are still excitable about otherwise "overly-complicated" things.
