Charles Babbage

For most of my life two things have puzzled my mind: how lines of code in a computer make a video game run and how and why the universe works like it does. It is almost the time when I need to decide what I want to spend the rest of life doing, and because of my curiosity about video games and the universe, I have narrowed my search down to a lead video game programmer or an astronomer. Even though both careers require adroit analytical skills, they differ in schooling needed, salary, and job outlook

1. WHAT SPARKED YOUR INTEREST IN COMPUTER SCIENCE? HOW DID THIS LEAD YOU TO MAJOR IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AND WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH WITH YOUR DEGREE? IN YOUR ANSWER, PLEASE DESCRIBE HOW YOUR EXPERIENCES HAVE INFLUENCED THE GOALS YOU HAVE FOR YOURSELF. The world of Computer Science has always been a fascinating field to me. Right from elementary school when I was taught about the evolution of computers, from the early counting mechanisms using the abacus to the ‘father of computer’s’

Introduction: Computer science is a hard concept to grasp because it involves problem-solving and logical thinking. Along with the concepts, coding issues is one of the greatest trouble students will face. Students have the Teacher Assist room available for them to use to solve these common problems, but they will mostly encounter another problem. The TA room for the majority of any given day will be overcrowded with students; the room’s maximum capacity is only 32. In addition to a crowded help

as these magical machines that can do almost anything, they were not always like that. Back in the early 1800s, there was a woman named Ada Lovelace who has been named as the first computer programmer because she had written out an algorithm for Charles Babbage’s Analytical Machine (a very early development of a computer). Fast forwarding, soon he computer was advanced using electricity and other new hardware and programs that helped advance the development of the computer, such as digital monitors

Computing in the 1800’s: An era of inventions We live in an era where technology is all around us. We use technology in our daily lives by using computers, cell phones, cars, etc. The most productive form of technology though is computers and like most people might think, computers did not emerge in the late 20th century. It was in the 1800’s when the most significant forms of computing were built, and as a result the amazing computers we have today were pioneered. One of the earliest

Look around. Everyone has their faces buried into their phones, laptops, iPads, etc. Many people would say that technology is taking over in our everyday lives. I, however, beg to differ. Technology is one of the best things the human race could get their hands on. Yes it seems like everything is in “the Cloud” or everyone is tweeting, reposting, Snapchatting, and liking everything. But how I see it is, a way for people to communicate and share ideas they have with other like-minded people, accomplish

the award-winning engineer turned cartoonist drew a bunch of simple machines that made simple task into complicated process to do. His drawings, using simple gadgets and household items already in use, were hard ,and complex and crazy , but had an great logical progression to them. Goldberg’s inventions became so widely known that a dictionary added his machine a word , defining it as “accomplishing by extremely complex,what really could be done simply is complicated. .” In the words of the inventor

Introduction Ever since Charles Babbage invented the first computer in the early 19th century, people have started their whole company with computers. One well known company that we will talk about is Microsoft. Microsoft is a company that keeps improving their inventions and keeps growing. Microsoft also has the fourth largest website per media Metrix powered by internal and external servers. In an article named “Microsoft, Google, and Apple: which one faces doom in 2017?”, I found out that Microsoft

Princess Diana of Wales: Bulimia “I had bulimia for a number of years. And that’s like a secret disease. You inflict it upon yourself because...you don’t think you’re worthy...you fill your stomach up...and it gives you a feeling of comfort…it’s like having a pair of arms around you,” Princess Diana explains about bulimia (Frey). Bulimia is a disability often misinterpreted as a form of anorexia, and people think they can identify a bulimic by their looks. Bulimia is when someone binges or overeats
