My Love Affair With Computers

I have chosen to pursue a career in computer science, because it has been a heavy influence on me throughout my life. All my life I have been surrounded by technology, almost more than half of my family has a career in the IT field, which is what sparked my interest. My earliest memory of when I first became interested was when I was about 6 and my mother bought me a phonics dog, and I was more interested in how it worked rather than what it did. I then saw the screw bolts and knew if I used a screwdriver I could see the inside of the toy so I opened it, and from then on I knew I was interested in technology. In middle school was when I first took my actual dive into the IT world and I learned there are different computer languages, and about different devices used in the tech world. Also I

Currently, computers are used for everything in life. For example, from researching for a large essay project to playing video games with friends. “From the outset, computers were weighed for both military and commercial significance, and hence they straddled the very institutional boundaries that central to this study. It is also significant that computers became valuable research instruments in nearly all disciplines.” (Akera, 2). The first digital computer was constructed in 1946 by John Mauchly, a professor, and Presper Eckert, an inventor. “They met by chance in 1941 at the University of Pennsylvania’s Moore School of Engineering. They soon developed a revolutionary vision: to use electricity as a means of computing--in other words, to make electricity "think."” (McCartney, 1). They were ignored by their colleagues, but in 1943 they were becoming more well known and was funded by the U.S Army. The U.S Army was seeking for a contraption that can quickly calculate ballistic missile trajectories in wartime Europe and Africa (McCartney, 1). John Mauchly and Presper Eckert led a team that constructed the computer that occupied 1,800 square feet and weighed thirty tons. They named the large computer, ENIAC, Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer. The process of building this machine was not an effortless task, Mauchly and Presper and their team had to overcome many problems

Over the years, I have grown particularly fascinated with the abstract side of electronics, including the creation of programming languages and applications, especially for mobile devices, and the creation of artificial intelligence. I see the potential for computer programs and artificial intelligence to help humanity solve many of its most complex problems in entertainment, communication, and everyday life, and I believe a degree in Computer Science would help me become a part of this

Ever since my childhood, I have found the topics dealing with computers and its applications highly interesting because of the unique properties they offer for almost any application we can think of. The extraordinary developments in this field, both in the hardware and in the software area, along with the rapid advances of communication technology as one of the most applied technologies in the modern world have stimulated my interest in both fields. Therefore I believe that joining the undergraduate degree on Computer, Networking and Communications Technology will help me have a systemic knowledge of the field and, thus, achieve one of the greatest dreams of my life.

There were times in elementary school when teachers had to pick me up from my chair to give another student a chance to use the school computer. When I first laid eyes on a computer I was amazed at all the things that it could accomplish but I never really delved the aspects of it. This changed when I took my AP Computer Science course during my junior year, taking the class helped develop my passion for the computer. Taking this course helped me to explore other areas of the computer that I didn’t know existed, because I wanted to learn more about the world of computers I decided to join the cyber security team and the robotics team at my school. By joining the cybersecurity team I was able to augment my knowledge on computers in general,

Computers were always intriguing at an young age but I never attempted to understand them

Since I was a child, I have been interested in computers, which unfortunately led me to destroying a few of my parents as a toddler. However, I as became older I was able to hone in my skills and began working at my high school’s IT department, where I became the school’s first Student Technology Associate. As the Student Technology Associate, I worked

While taking computer and engineering classes the subjects relating to computer sciences always stood out to me. Being in an actual

My love for computers started in the middle school when I learned the programming language ‘Logo.’ Simple commands would make the ‘turtle’ move forward, backward, or go round in circles. It was gratifying

As far as my interests in computer science, it is due to technology being highly dynamic and the applications the skills learned could be used in virtually all industries.

Ever since I was a little kid, I've been addicted to computers. I started to find out computers were my future when I was the only kid who liked a required typing class freshmen year. Whether it’s designing a website or web development, learning about computers is really important to me for my next step after high school.

My true passion for engineering began when I came across the quote: "Technology are devices that make our lives better". Despite my first love of mathematics, my recent interest for engineering has come from two major influences. The first being my mathematics and physics teachers, both engineers by nature, who have helped me enhance the fundamental skills essential for engineering and embrace the importance of the field. The second being the learning about uses of technology in Computer Science, it taught me the magnitude of which technology contributes to our everyday lives has led me to intensify my desire to improve the lives of others.

This gave me an opportunity to explore many new horizons in the field of computers. Courses like Database Management Systems, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Networks coupled with practical experience have given me an appreciation of the interplay between software and hardware.I chose projects across different disciplines that helped me get better perspective of my core subjects and also honed my problem solving skills.I am also introduced to management based subjects like Managerial Economics & Financial Analysis and Management Science where I gained knowledge and understanding of the basic management

My curiosity of studying computer sciences came to me during my school days when the whole world is suffering due to Y2K issue and everyone who knows about computers were discussing about Y2K problem. Also it was the time advances in computers and information technology have bought revolution in all the industries. During that period I wished to be a part of future revolution and due to this reason I wanted to study computer science. As a first step in the ladder of learning I took the sciences with mathematics and physical sciences as the core subjects after my schooling.

Computer Science has fascinated me right from my school days. Computer science, as a subject, was first introduced to me in class 8. In the beginning I found it tough to understand how a program was written or how it could even solve a complex issue. But at that time one of my school teacher came forward and made me understand the beauty of a programming language. He made me see computer science from a different perspective and that made all the difference. The simple way a computer program could be written to solve a problem, almost seemed magical in my eyes and from there my love for computer science began. This motivated me to opt for Bachelors of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering. Throughout the four years of my
