Computer Programming and Operating system development.
Understanding what you are doing, it is pro to know!
Computer Programming
Math, but not science or anything else!
Now, is the idea of programming something simple? Yes. Typing a specific line, everything does something. Can anyone do it? Yes. Programming is one subject that is very held back because of fears of challenge. If people can learn to understand everything is very simple, we can increase technology significantly! What is algebra? Equations using variables. What is a processer. A computer part that processes data. Now everything is taught quickly, and people just don't get ideas. When you throw 15 terms at a person in a calculus class with only a minimal explanation of what they are doing, of course they will do horrible. Our education system could be completely redesigned, the thought of branching would everything easier. Why is calculus considered hard? Only because it is far in the branches, if you don't know multiple other math concepts, of course you will fail. The branch could innovate a failing education system in math and technology, 2 subjects which I feel are poorly taught.
