Summary | Computer programming is the new lingua franca of modern economy. Introductory classes are increasingly popular at universities with 90% of Standford students taking an introductory computer programming class.

Summary | Duolingo is a language learning app that is designed like a game and rewards users with points when they finish a lesson. It is similarly limited in its effectiveness, it may familiarize users with a foreign language but it is entirely text-based rather than spoken. It is just a mildly more productive way to waste time on a smartphone.
