As someone who is majoring in computer engineering, I believe that it would be great to spread knowledge of coding to young children. I know I would have really appreciated it. In the Ted Talk posted above, Mitch Resnick develops the idea of exposing children to code in the early stages. When children have mastered reading, it would beneficial for them in this day and age if they were exposed to coding. I relate to the video because I would really want to have these kind of experiences early on in my life, so by the time I get to college I could be much more proficient in the coding environment. I've seen a lot of people switch out of computer engineering, but if they were exposed to it earlier and had more time to practice they might have stuck with it in college. I believe that computers are the future and we should help our children become ready for the upcoming technological advancements.
