Congressman Ro Khanna discussed his book about making technology work for all Americans, particularly focusing on expanding digital economic opportunities to rural communities and the heartland, in addition to discussing the Ukraine conflict.
We have 11 trillion dollars of economic activity in my district with so much of rural America, black and brown communities, they aren't participating in modern wealth generation.
They're going to be 25 million digital jobs, nine of the 10 richest companies are tech companies, a lot of the billionaires are tech billionaires, we've got to get digital economic opportunity into rural America into the heartland like Intel going to Ohio.
And many of these jobs are manufacturing, retail, construction jobs and most of them don't require a college degree.
It's absolutely not learn to code, the book starts with the story of Alex who is making refrigerators and dishwashers and has some technology that he's grasped to make them smart.
But the reality is actually it's looking at all you they talk about no-code, low-code which means that these new technology jobs don't require much coding, it's just understanding basic technology to do make factory, retail, and these kind of occupations.

And most of them don't require a college degree and so it's about decentralizing economic opportunity in this country and not concentrating it in the cost.
First of all, it's absolutely not 'learn to code'.
The book starts with the story of Alex who is making refrigerators and dishwashers and has some technology that he's grasped to make them smart, but the reality is actually it's looking at all, they talk about no-code, low-code, which means that these new technology jobs don't require much coding, it's just understanding basic technology to do, make factory, retail and these kind of occupations.
