Digital technology is programmed. This makes it biased toward those with the capacity to write the code. In a digital age, we must learn how to make the soft ware, or risk becoming the soft ware. It is not too difficult or too late to learn the code behind the things we use—or at least to understand that there is code behind their interfaces. Otherwise, we are at the mercy of those who do the programming, the people paying them, or even the technology itself.
