Computer science has changed the way we live our lives in many ways. From layman to professionals, computer science has touched everybody’s lives in some way or the other. Computer engineers strive to make our life faster, easier and more organized. The words of Steve Ballmer aptly sum up the vital importance of the sector today - ‘The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn't think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential.’ I feel privileged to be a part of this community that plays a major role in advancements of human lives. From being a jargon of the professionals in the past, computers and technology have now become the buzzword of every field – whether it is entertainment, business, production or medicine, computers are everywhere, making people’s jobs much easier and the end results of their efforts more reliable. In India particularly, the landscape of development in the last three decades has definitely been dominated by the IT sector. The sector has generated employment, created a new cadre of professionals, and placed India firmly on the world map. I believe that aspiring professionals from this sector will continue to have a definite role to play in India’s immediate future.

Playing games on my father's computer as a child fascinated me in the way the computer works, how fast it develops, and now how the computer helps the world to communicate. It still amazes me in how fast computers change and how communication across the globe is enhanced with the computer. Computers have drastically changed how society lives and does business. Even small businesses can do global sales without leaving their location. With new strategies for business, comes cyber threats of identity theft and theft of intellectual property that brings information technology security and new laws into play. It is becoming a fast and ever challenging world. Computer science enables the ability to program software for protection against these kinds of threats and vulnerabilities. It also enables the ability to program artificial intelligence into the computer system software to enable society to meet their needs in more appropriate ways.

Technology changes rapidly in the cyber age, my hometown Shanghai is also a rapidly developing metropolitan and one of the best sources of high tech products in China. The advantageous environment evoked my affection in science subjects and always curious to seek new knowledge. Back to the days when I was in junior high school and the personal computers were still the mysterious machines in most people’s mind. I was lucky enough to be introduced into the edge of that binary world with a professional instructor - my uncle. At that time he was on vacation visiting us. After he discussed how wonderful the computers are with my father, then he started working on a computer right away from scratch and instructed us. In addition to my great affection in science and high tech, I was already attracted to this wonderful machine although back then I was only an adherent being around them. That event shaped my academic path, and now I choice to major in computer science because my persistence affection about computers and passions understand more deeply in this field. Maybe one day in future, I can master some remarkable and helpful techniques in information technology field.

I have always been deeply fascinated with computer technology. When I was growing, computers were not highly prevalent in Saudi Arabia; furthermore, the first computer I had did not even have access to the Internet. However, I was born in an age that enabled me to fully appreciate the increasing complexity of technological innovation, allowing my skills and knowledge to grow with these advancements. Following my fascination with technology, I studied computer science as an undergraduate student at Taibah University and was awarded my bachelor’s degree in 2007 with 4.92 GPA. It was there that I was able to gain basic knowledge of computer science, in a way which allowed me to better understand the intricacies of computer engineering. Furthermore, during this time I became highly interested in computer security due to the prevalence of viruses and malware leading to compromise privacy on the Internet. In addition, I was interested in determining how companies such as Facebook and Twitter could reasonably use personal data without causing a breach of legality.

In order to explore and understand computer science better I meticulously chose my A level subjects, so that I come closer this realm. Gradually my interest developed which aroused me to put in extra effort in order to excel in this subject. This hard work resulted in a decent result and motivated me to study this subject further in my A levels. This has seeded in me a deep understanding of the subject and has led to an everlasting state of wanting to learn more. My

My strong passion towards computers originated at the age of 7, when a desktop version was first brought home. Though punching on the keyboard keys and swinging the mouse around was all I could do then, computers and its functionality always remained to be much of an enigma to me. As years went by, I wasn’t surprised when I realized how eager I was to learn its functionality and architecture. This pushed me to utilize all the Computer Science classes in my school and then slowly with time and with both theoretical and practical knowledge I grasped at school, my relationship with computer and its technology improved. It was then, that an unending zeal towards the subject built up within me.

“…life can be much broder once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you. And you can change it, you can influence it. Once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.”

I still remember the day, I first used a computer at my uncle’s house in the summer of 2000. As a boy of 8, I was astonished to see the interaction between a television-like object and some keys. From that day, I believe, deep passion for computer grew inside me. A few years later when I got acquainted with the internet, Computer Science became my most favorite topic. Being amazed by the potentiality of the internet, I attended a Web Development course after completing high school. Since then I took Web Development seriously, committed myself to it and decided to study Computer Science.

In our fast pace society, technology is ever changing. This has ultimately resulted in technology always being at our fingertips. On an average day so many people are dependent on computers for their capabilities; including, police officers, small businesses, Wall Street, and even the average person for leisure. Without the invention of the first mechanical computer design in 1822 by Charles Baggage, our society would not be where it is at today. The computer has been noted to be most of the most powerful technology that societies will ever have.1 The first computer consisted of nearly 4,000 different parts. Measuring roughly seven feet tall and 11 feet long which is nowhere near resembles the compact computers we have available

It is universally agreeable that with the advent of Computer technology, every ambitious and enthusiastic individual is really obsessed with the idea of doing computer science at graduate level because it seems to have created a zeal and enthusiasm in the hearts of youth, particularly those who aspire to be marked as high achievers. I, for one, seem to have been enchanted by these computer applications as they have made the world smaller, speaking in terms of globalization. I have no hesitation to add that core computerization alone is the suitable answer to all the areas unexploited and to the areas waiting for development. It has always been a fascination for me about how computers work, how these applications are designed and what can be the newer ways to explore the world of computers to make our world better. This interest became a passion for me when I was exposed to computer science basics, during my middle school. Pursuing computer science engineering at undergraduate level, further propelled my passion for computer science along with providing me a deeper insight and in-depth understanding of the subject. After completing my under graduation in Computer Science, I am willing to expedite my research interest and a masters degree seemed the most appropriate choice for realizing my aspirations.

As an undergraduate student, I realized that to be successful, I could not simply rely on my professor’s lectures and those notes, but I also needed to
