Change is inevitable. It is no secret that advancements in time and ideas are destined to change the status quo, but the foresight to analyze the gray area where change occurs is often times unknown because change does not come easy. From the world’s most renowned scholars in ancient Greece detesting the shift from oral-based rhetoric to writing, to influential elites hindering the printing press from breaking long-standing institutions, these examples parallel the modern case of writing…

On the other hand, understanding is something more complicated and nuanced. It highlights a deeper intuitive process that occurs within subconscious levels of the mind. Someone…

in the computer lab for a class assignment. Most of the kids seemed fluent with the computers and their usage, promptly navigating to the google.com home page (yes, it existed back then) and searching for “ligers.” While I, on the other hand, was unable to even navigate to the internet browser. It was the first time I had any formal experience with any sort of computer. I felt utterly lost. Unlike the other students in my class, I had no computer literacy whatsoever. This lack of computer…

sometimes happens so fast and its hard for the human eye to keep up with calls. They have to go under the booth and watch it over and over before coming to to an exact decision on what has happened.

Ideally, this endeavor would be open to everyone willing to learn, regardless of gender. However, this may not be the case, as many believe in the existence…

Unlike most other majors, a Computer Science major writes in a very unique way. We write in a way that is probably much like a foreign language to the untrained eye. Even more complicated, however, there is more than one language. Depending on the language you prefer, the company you are working for, or what suits the program best, is generally going to be the deciding factor as to what language you write in. As a normal student writes an essay, a Computer Science major writes a program. We use…
