It's funny, I just saw your response and wanted to comment this to you. I think you'll find this paper rather interesting, and in-line with what you're thinking. I agree with it as well. There has been an assumption that people my generation are "better with technology," but only in the sense that they're able to handle computers without issue, in the same way people a generation above us are able to handle telephones, TVs, etc. without issue. Coding, either through web-design or something like Python or C++, is a really valuable skill to have.
