these days thats very useful i am happy hearing this

Most teens who "know" programming just taught themselves some really basic shit. They're rarely competent enough to make anything useful and innovative.

It is more necessary than everything else nowadays.

it's pretty easy to "know a programming language".

being good/master in it is a different story...

Where I live, it's not very common.

programming is not for everyone. but knowing it will help a lot of things

Thats very basic, very useful, go for it, i do recommend

program as a developer no, but knowing basic concepts like loops, functions etc is more and more common. it's taught in middle in school in many countries even

i tihnk with the fact that IT is taking over our lives 
it will reach a point that knowing how to code is the norm , or more like  an obligation to stay relevant in  the job market and maybe in life in the future  
so yes , it is becoming common due to exposer  to know  a programming language

Not at All.. If You Like It, You Can Learn It.. If It's Not Your Thing, Try Something Else :)
