The following question are intended as a guide to the ethical/social/legal issues associated with the field of computing. The goal is not merely to answer these question. You should also consider why you answered as you did and whether your justifications are consistent from one question to the next. In the context of interactive television, to what extent should a company be allowed to retrieve information from children (perhaps via an interactive game format)? For example, should a company be allowed to obtain a child's report on his or her parents' buying patterns? What about information about the child?

Understanding abstract data types is one of the most challenging tasks in computer science (ADTs). Are there any advantages to using ADTs? In what ways may the concept of heredity be used to find solutions to problems?

In the context of computer science, what is a mobo?

Both Dijkstra and Prim's algorithms are so fundamental in understanding the areas of greedy algorithms and Graph theory.  Because of that, they are taught in literally every algorithms and graph theory class.  So it is very important for you to have a complete and clear understanding of these algorithms.  Also, understanding these two algorithms open the door to solving other similar problems.  There are many articles and references available out there for the topics. You may do your own research as much as you can but you should come out with your own words to explain how they work in detail along with a few slides to summarize them.  Please be mindful of the spirit of ELI5 and try to prove it in simple English.

In the field of computer science, the phrases "normalisation" and "denormalization" are sometimes used interchangeably; nevertheless, what exactly is the difference between the two?

To what extent do matrices play a part in IT and computer science?

A wide variety of everyday objects (including attractions at amusement parks, autos, elevators, and ovens) are really computers or information systems these days. The typical person would not connect them to a computer or database. The benefits are obvious, but are there any downsides to consider? As an example, if you rode a computer-controlled roller coaster, how confident would you be in its safety? As more and more mundane tasks are automated by computers, we have to ask whether the benefits are worth the cons. If so, then explain why.

What distinguishes normalization from denormalization in the field of computer science?

How much of an impact do matrices have on computer science and IT?

What is the concept of recursion in computer science, and how is it used in programming? Provide examples of programming languages that support recursion, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using recursion in coding.

What are the repercussions of mastering Boolean algebra for those who work in computer science?
