However, while almost everyone connected to the internet uses software applications, only 1 out of every 400 people on this planet have the technical know-how to create them, and the process of learning this skill is time intensive and expensive – and becoming harder by the day.

Imagine if almost everyone knew how to read, but only 0.25% of the world knew how to write. That’s where we are today when it comes to the ability to create something tangible on the internet.
