There are certain instances in my life that stimulated my love for computer science. During my childhood years I saw the computer only as an advanced gaming system, but soon I became aware of the wonders it can perform. Applications like the "Yahoo messenger" and "Orkut" bewildered me. My interest for programming was further intensified by my Computer professor who when I was in 8th standard taught us HTML. Through just a flick of keys, I could create and modify my own web-pages. When it said "Hello
our mind works with the help of memories. Memory lane brings out a sense of cherishment as I shift through my childhood. One particular memory comes to mind, a birthday to be specific where I was the first one amongst my friends to get a personal computer as a gift. My friends and I would often spend our evenings playing ‘Dangerous Dave. While my friends were solely interested in fun and winning, I realized that my best interest lied in knowing how the game worked. It amused me how the usage of the

Computer Fanatics - Good or Evil? Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Charles Manson, and David Koresh were all fanatics of some nature. These fanatics did not have a helpful side effect for people but caused death and one of them a World War.

Such fanatics like Michael Jordan and Larry Bird have made basketball a more enjoyable sport to watch. A fanatic is a person with an extreme and
There has always been controversy as to whether computers hurt the way people think. Computers have hurt society more than it has helped. Although computers have benefits such as helping you for school work in making quicker decisions for you, and it makes it easier to do essays by using word; it has also hurt society because it makes us become lazier, makes online dating dangerous, and makes people addicted to the Internet. One benefit of computers is that they help students with school work. Students

today’s world, computers are the go to tool for every aspect of modern life. We use computers to have a better control of the necessities we need to live. Hopper’s design creation of Flow-Matic was the gateway for a revolution in computer technology advancements. During her youth, women served roles in other areas of the workforce, not in computers. Hopper faced a secluded field in which women had no importance at the time. Due to her hard work, dedication, mathematical abilities, and love for machines
Babu Anto P2 Department of Information Technology, Kannur University, Kerala, India1,2 ABSTRACT: Ambiguity can be referred as the ability of having more than one meaning or being understood in more than one way. Natural languages are ambiguous, so computers are not able to understand language the way people do. Natural Language Processing (NLP) is concerned with the development of computational models of aspects of human language processing. Ambiguity can occur at various levels of NLP. Ambiguity could
In “Seduction of the Interface,” Turkle successfully sets up how computer programming evolved from being used strictly for business purposes are now being used for personal stimulation. Her theory of the Computer Holding Power does possess truth. She describes it as, “a phenomenon frequently referred to in terms associated with addiction… the metaphor of seduction because it emphasizes the relationship between person and machine; love, passion, infatuation, what we feel for another person teaches
I Love Technology! I remember as a child of seven or eight being taught what a slide rule was. My father pulled it out one day when I was checking my math homework with a calculator. He explained to me how it worked and told me that that was his “calculator” when he was in school. I took one look at that contraption, with all of its confusing measurement markers and immediately felt lucky to have my calculator, which did not look nearly as complicated as his old slide rule. From that

Computers are everywhere. Almost everything that uses electricity has a computer inside it. The industry is growing fast, too. The computer in your phone is more powerful than the computer systems that put a man on the moon. Computers are used for everything from entertainment, such as gaming; to work, such as compiling financial records and rendering architectural models. As the field of information technology continues to grow rapidly, the varied industries, tech or non-tech, need more and
The four A.I., Turing’s Imitation Game, Weizenbaum’s ELIZA, Lentz and Powers’ HELEN and Her’s Samantha, all have many things in common. For one, they exist outside of the realm of physical reality. You can touch the computer that they inhabit, but you cannot touch the binary code that went into making them come to “life”. These A.I. are also all dependent on the functionalist viewpoints. Turing, for example, thinks of his tests as a means for measuring if a machine can think and therefore be conscious
everyone now has a smart phone, TV, computer, and many more. Computers and software have become my strong suit throughout the year. When I was 14 I build my first computer by myself completely and had done weeks of research to make sure all the parts were compatible, that the computer would run insanely fast, and that all the software drivers would
Ever since I was little kid, I was constantly exposed to computers and video games. When I received my first computer at the age of 10, the first thing I did was break apart the computer and see what was inside. Prior to that, I would always bombard by parents with questions on how these machines work. They could not answer much so the curiosity inside me wanted to figure it out myself. At this moment, I knew that I wanted to work on computers for the rest of my life, whether it is building or writing

off this to me was such a funny article, I love how much he believed in the fact that there was not one reason he needed to have a computer in his home. When in fact a computer could have probably made his life a lot better in some ways. When he was talking about the advertisements that he sees on TV about how they are trying to get struggling farming families to buy computers to solve their problems or when he talks about schools are getting computers instead of getting more books shows him talking
