I am a student at the University of Hawaii at Manoa and am attending to attain my Computer Science degree. Despite having such an interest in computers, I am not one to spend too much time on social media or online games. In fact, I have no social media whatsoever. This fact seems to stun people as many would expect a computer science major student to be glued to a computer or some kind of device. I, however, do not spend as much time on a computer as you would think, however, my passion for computer science is not fueled by the fact I use it, but by my desire to understand how it works.
Knowing that computers are the future, it is only natural to desire a form of understanding with the machine. Computers will soon be part of our everyday lives and will run the world of our future. In fact, computers are already part of our daily lives and run far more of the world than we’d care to admit. Most of us rely on some sort of computer from the phones that each one of us carry to the simple calculator we need for a college level math test. Despite relying on computing technology so often, I realize how little I truly understand how such devices work.
This class is part of my journey to achieving my goal of not only earning a degree, but also to expand my knowledge on the ever growing technology that is the computer. I hope this class will not only expand my knowledge, but also give me experience on applying such knowledge in real world applications.
