Why you should learn to code?

“I think everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer because it teaches you how to think. I view computer science as a liberal art.” - Steve Jobs

Computers are everywhere, the one with which you are reading this, the one I am using to write. Literally, they are all around us. And It's so fascinating that we as humans are so much integrated with them in our daily life.
You might have thought once in while that how is the app working, or while playing a game you might have wondered what's working behind the game and how it was built. Well, the answer is that someone had coded that game or app. But it's just one way to look at coding. There are plenty of others. Here are some of the reasons for you, yes you even if you are from a non-technical background to learn to code.

1. It can help you to Think in new ways
Learning to code won’t just give you technical knowledge it will also give you a new way to approach your work. Learning to program also makes your attention to detail. After all, when a single misplaced hyphen or missing semi-colon can mess up your entire code, you become quite skilled at checking your work.

2. It develops problem-solving skills
Coding helps you to break up a problem into a series of smaller steps and then logically create a program that solves them. This same approach can be applied to virtually every problem in life.
It can also help you accomplish your entrepreneurial ideas.

3. It can help you make good money
Even if you don't want to be a software engineer, coding can really help you in gaining a huge amount of money by working part-time for a start-up or you can do freelancing(start earning from today). Even if you're just looking to make a little extra money for retirement or vacation, coding can be quite lucrative.

4. It may be your new hobby
Even if you don't want to do anything yet you should learn to code because who knows it may become a new hobby of yours. For instance, by learning to code you can create beautiful websites on your own.

Will a Robot take my job?

What if I tell you that the job you have been working on or your dream job that you want to work on with might be automated in the next few decades. There was a time when automation was a means for factory machines to do a repetitive task. But today they can drive a car, land an aircraft and trade stocks. But wait, has not automation been around for decades? What’s different this time? Our past and innovation For the longest time, humans worked in agriculture for a living. With the rise of the Industrial Revolution, this shifted to production jobs and then to the service sector as automation became more widespread. Now only a few moments ago we entered the information age. In the past things were simple. Innovation made human work easier and productivity rose, which means more services could be produced per hour but with less or the same number of people. This eliminated some jobs but also created many other jobs that were better because of the growing population required more

Why are we so attached to our things?

Yesterday when I was checking for something in the closet I found out an old pen (there is an interesting story behind why it is my favorite ) and I know that even I will never use it I can't just throw it out. And it's not just me and you, most everyone experiences some sort of connection to their stuff. Throughout evolution, humans have developed psychological behavior to form a connection with the things around them. When we personally own something our mind and body form a connection with it and this is what something called an Endowment Effect. You value something more once you own it. For example, you can see that children value their stuff more and are afraid to trade their stuff with any other thing even if they were identical. Often times we think that our things are a part of ourselves. We believe that they have a unique essence.
