@corysama, the videos are designed to be 1 minute long for super-beginners. So they're short intentionally. It's part of a series of 1-minute intro videos for people getting started with coding + startups.

Also, appreciate the feedback.

"The share of women in computer science started falling at roughly the same moment when personal computers started showing up in U.S. homes in significant numbers."
Just spent the last month filming, editing, and making this class — So excited that it's going live! If anyone has questions, I helped make this class, so feel free to ask me any questions.
In answer to this question; the phrasing could be more specific. I believe he's referencing the number of seniors who are targets for scams like these and would benefit from a card like this. In this case, the question is: how many seniors are there in America, who are living alone, with some cognitive decline, and highly susceptible to fraud and scams?

See this Bloomberg piece -- 2010 estimates that financial abuse victimizes 1 in 5 elderly; about 7.3 million senior citizens have reported being taken advantage of. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-15/financial-abuse-vic...

The scary part is that it's likely much, much higher (the number of people being taken advantage of) -- because so much of it goes undetected, or worse, unreported.
