I'd prefer we view them in the same way that we view reading and writing. Perhaps a group or movement to improve what is taught in schools (is it still pretty much just 6 weeks of Mavis Beacon and a quick 'how to print' or has that improved?) - we could petition tech companies to build and/or sponsor courses. It's win-win, they get a tax write off and we (maybe) get better peers.
Though honestly the tools are all there and free; someone too dumb, scared, or lazy to teach themself isn't likely the type that can be taught, no matter the effort or true want and care of the teacher. I train people in a tech-related field...it's goddamn depressing.
