Where is it mis-leading? Probably me just not seeing it.. The title is more or less the same as the Swedish media used.. Guess to sew is quite old and ... maybe ... relevant? x) Bet it'd start some sort of rivalry between normal teachers and tech-teachers if their salary would be different for the same amount (in time) taught.

Yes, but if you're anything like me, you're not motivated enough to pick it up yourself, especially if you find it to be a bit hard, then it'd help to have it as a subject in school. If I ever find out, I'd be glad to let everyone know if it works out any good. I'd like to think it's a required course from what I've seen. Everyone in Sweden has to take courses in how to sew as well as crafting with tools and plankets etc. Never wanted to sew, but I had to haha. The difference between these and the assumed programming is that the crafting you only did for certain periods, not all the time. Heck I don't think we even did it in every grade while this programming seem to be a thing continuously running for everyone, just like math, Swedish, English etc. For the teacher part I have no clue.. My bet is 99/100 teachers know 0% programming/coding, so where would they find all the people needed...? Just hope that it works out...

A little while ago a presentation by the Swedish government was shown in how the school and education can be digitalized. The two main focuses will be on programming and education in source reputability. The government explained that they though this was a good way to approach how students technical skills can be increased. The Swedish minister of Education said: To sum up what this means: Mathematics: Year 1-3: How one-way-interpretable instructions can be constructed, described and be used as a base for programming. Year 4-6: How algorithms can be created and used in programming. Also programming in visual and various environments. Year 7-9: How algorithms can be created, tested and in improved for mathematical problem solving. Tech: Method for developing technical solutions: Year 1-3: Ability to control objects with programming. Year 4-6: Ability to control your own constructions or other people's objects by the use of programming. Year 7-9: Build your own constructions where you apply steering and control, including the help of programming. Learn how digital tools can be a good support in the field of technical development such as blueprints or simulations. Technical solutions Year 7-9: Find technical solutions that benefits electronics and how they can be programmed to do so. This has to be implemented in the schools before July 1st 2018. My own opinions and ideas about this First off, this is clearly a step in the right direction. The world gets more and more digital for each day passing. People need to know what programming is from a young age in order to be able to meet the demand the future (most likely) holds when it comes to programming/coding. Te be taught more source criticism is more important than ever before with so much fake news spreading across facebook and other media. A lot of people take it for granted what they see is true, but unfortunately a lot of the time, it just simply isn't. In practicality I would guess that in grade 1-3, you're just messing with some form of robot and the most basic programming. I've never tried it, but I've seen robots etc. more or less having pre-built programming environments where you can drag and drop movements and such in order to "program" it. This would probably be the best was to implement it to the youngest children that has to do this. My hope is that this proposal means that you're being taught a programming language in grade 7-9, I don't really care if it's Java, C++, PHP, Python or anything else, as long as you don't spend your whole elementary school copy/pasting movements and sequences and believe that that's the most fundamental programming there is. Problem solving in math is always helpful too. Where I think this may have a backlash is with the kids having hard times either around theoretical subjects or just math/tech in general. It seems like most students dislikes math and a few have a really hard time with it. Introducing (I assume) more math is probably not going to help here. Same goes with tech. If I look back to my classmates that I had during elementary or high-school, I can tell you right away that there would be a big portion either not interested in tech/programming or that just would struggle with it. Perhaps it'll solve itself by being introduced at a young age, that everyone, boy or girl, has the ability to further increase their technical skills and abilities. What would be good but at the same time not is if you'd have 2 directions. One where you go with this new teaching and one where it more resembled the one we have now. As I again assume that a lot of people would struggle with this new stuff, having it 9 years in a row instead of as something you choose at high-school or college level might be tough. If you could in one way or another choose if you'd like to go the tech or non-tech version would be cool, but also deciding at an age that young, is never a good idea. What's almost most interesting in this entire idea is where will we get all the teachers for this? Looking back at when I was in school a few years back, there's only be a very small set of teachers I deem able to learn to teach this kind of stuff, for the lower classes. Currently I'm not aware that Sweden is overflowing with skilled programmers that wants to go teaching, so where will we get all? Open up a tonne of quick-line educations that in one year makes you a fully capable programmer? It's not my problem to handle, it's just very interesting to see how it'll be handled eventually. What do you guys think? Is it too early? A bad idea? I'd like to hear it all.

Hehe we sure aren't, plenty of time for someone to beat us! Would be pretty cool to see a co-operation with one currency for both countries. However the different price indexes would make that a pain. Still cool idea though to share the e-currency. In my opinion. Sweden hurt itself in it's confusion. Sort of agreeing with you. However usually I think we're quite slow with a lot of things + Sweden is a priority to 0 companies based out of Sweden. Still haven't heard anyone that uses "Apple pay" here (just one example of things we don't get, early at lest). The crown thing is weird lol. Exciting yes. The environmental aspect of it, don't really think that's a big piece of it. Sure, it's far better than printing out new notes every day, but still. Wonder how big difference it actually makes. You don't like the cold? Pretty much agreeing. Couldn't we get cool ideas instead? Nothing! I like them! Would you mind to explain it further?

Not sure how that works. But I guess there could (?) be some "trade in, no going back" program in the beginning, or eventually continued.

Won't be BitCoin for sure. I've been thinking about that too. Guess it's an alternative where you in no way can get it to physical money? As you can with the current currency.

Really hope so too. I've never got too deep into BitCoin and all of that (mining etc), but I've heard about it and have though it was a weird thing, to be able to mine it. Guess the central bank of Sweden has something in the back of their minds, or at least I hope so..

It's recently come to the attention in Swedish media that the Swedish central bank "Riksbanken" is looking to try and launch their own digital currency. This would be an addition to the current SEK - Swedish Krona (English: Swedish Crown), most likely the name would be the E-Krona (English: E-Crown). Their hope is that this currency could be launched within 2 years from now. Sweden has (as probably most other countries) seen a big decrease in the use of regular physical currency. This move is particularly interesting as Sweden is currently in a state of changing its current currency, to new notes and coins. This change is currently ongoing since 2015 and will be in place until mid 2017. You can see pictures of the "new" notes and coins in Sweden below. To give my opinion on this, not really sure what to think. As much as I'm for a new currency, it also worries me. Since it's all electronic and computer made, there would be a possibility of malfunction in the beginning before it really gets going. This could potentially be harmful to early adopters. The other thing that puzzles me is how it will be used. Will you be able to use it with a credit card as you do now, just that you can't withdraw them as notes in any possible way as you normally can with an ATM, or will it be some sort of currency that lives within your computer and smartphone only? If so, will it require internet access to be used to pay with? How will online stores implement it and will you be able to use it outside of Sweden? A lot of things needs to be cleared up, but generally this is exciting.

Bumping this a little.

Hi! Got an interesting issue here. Did a clean install of windows 10 a week or two back, works like a charm, besides one small thing. Recent stuff doesn't save, or it does save, just that it's cleared on the next boot up. It's come in very handy to quickly have a folder to the left in explorer that you're often visiting, right clicking on photoshop to see your latest used files and have "notepad" still in the Run box after a restart of the computer. However, after this latest installation, this doesn't work as intended. It all saves during the session I use the computer. If I then shut down the PC and restart it, IMMEDIATELY after restart it's still there, everything, but after around 10 seconds it's gone, why?! I have checked in "settings", they're on, I've checked in the regedit, it's "1", meaning that it's on, I've also looked at the group policies for "user", the were not set or something, so I "disabled" "clear on exit" and stuff, but nothing made it any different. I'd be incredibly happy if anyone could help me out here, why it cleans after the pc's boots up

According to this article from Business Insider, Bangladesh central bank was hacked. As from the title, the issue was a 2nd hand 10$ without any firewall configured... The hackers got away with around 81$ millions, but the whole hack attempted to transfer 951$ millions. Most of the payments got automatically blocked. Another 20$ millions were on it's way to Sri Lanka, but a misspelling in the company's name raised a red flag and the transfer got blocked. I cannot believe that a central bank in any country would lack this quality of equipment. Not sure if this is just an issue in Bangladesh, but I do hope that banks all over the globe takes another look into their own systems to detect week links, after all, everyone uses credit cards and they are connected to the banks...

Keyboards looks nice

I have an OnePlus One and I'm really satisfied. If you ask me, I can still feel that it's relevant and up to date even today.

That's true!
