Coding has revolutionized our world. From Ada Lovelace's early ideas in the 1800s to today's sophisticated, automated code, we've witnessed an extraordinary transformation.

We've moved from painstakingly writing every instruction to simply telling computers what we want them to achieve.

But as our tech gets smarter, it's worth asking: What are we gaining, and what might we be losing in this rapid evolution?

Join tech consultant Ronald Petty as we explore how our relationship with code and machines has changed through history. We'll delve into technology’s expanding accessibility, the shifting landscape of creativity, and what it truly means to be a coder when powerful tools can write software for anyone.

In this engaging session we’ll cover:

• The evolution of coding tools: From early punch cards to intuitive drag-and-drop interfaces and advanced automation helpers.
• Participation in the evolution: Who gets to join the tech world and why it still matters that everyone has an opportunity.
• The shifting meaning of code: How coding has transitioned from corporate control to today's open, community-led projects.
• Influences on innovation: The impact of regulations, education, and business trends on how and why we code.
• Live demos and surprising stories: Discover why coding has always been more human than we think.
