No.

The first generation of kids that never knew a time without Internet access, much less computer access, has recently cleared university, and they don't know programming. Thinking they'd have learned to program had they had a £15 computer (rather than the £500-£1000 one they/their family did have) doesn't seem likely.



Those are first-world kids, with rich parents.

A $15 computer is obviously not targeted at that market.


A very reasonable statement. This is not, however, the argument made in the video. They are explicitly talking about the UK's future.
