positive that everyone has seen a heartbreaking story of a paralyzed person being able to express themselves or complete an everyday task with the help of a computer. What exactly helped that person complete that function though? It is called Brain Computer Interfaces, or BCIs for short. “A brain-computer interface links a human brain directly to a computer, where neural signals are interpreted and used to perform tasks such as manipulating a mouse”(pg 1). It is not only paralyzed patients that…

In “Can Computers Think?” John Searle claims that by definition, computers cannot think, nor will they ever, no matter how much technology manages to advance in the future. Searle defends his claim by providing an outline and an interesting thought experiment. His work begins by simply introducing the prevailing views concerning artificial intelligence during the time period. Many individuals thought of human brains and digital computers as analogous due to something known as the Turing Test.…

Computers were once thought of as a passing fad or a niche hobby, but today computers play a very integral part in our lives. By definition a computer is an electronic device used for storing and processing data which is usually in a binary form. This definition may sound very simplistic, but computers are actually extremely powerful tools that drive society as we know it today. Cars, cellular phones, and even certain refrigerators all run on some sort of computer system. Computers can do…

field of Computer Science has always been my dream. With an intense urge to delve into this challenging field, the eagerness to experiment and explore new panoramas, I strongly believe that experiencing the world of work for a couple of years would not suffice. A comprehensive graduate program is a consummate supplement…

Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution is a book written by Steven Levy about the early days and what he defined as “True Hackers”. This book starts off talking about the Tech Model Railroad Club in the 1950s all the way to the “Gamer Hackers” of the 1980s. It describes the different equipment that was used during the periods, the skills of the hackers, and the reasons they either became hackers or was interested in computers. Hackers in today’s society are not the same as in the 1950s.…

Computer science is an excellent career choice because it deals with one of the fastest growing fields, computers (Smith). This career is constantly evolving, which makes the workplace stimulating and challenging. Computer science is changing the world we inhabit by making many advancements in computing. In the 1960s, computer science became an independent discipline; however, the study of the electronic computer was around prior to it (History). The development of Boolean algebra accelerated…

Introduction to Computer Crimes What is cyber crime? It is an activity done by using computers with the internet. For Example, downloading music or video files illegally from the internet to stealing information from other users from all over the internet . The most common crime is done through phishing and most of the crimes have such large scope, phishing is just an example of a cybercrime activity as there are a lot more crimes that are called computer crimes. Types of Computer Crime…

what exactly computer science is or what the people who choose this as a career path actually do on a day to day basis. Many think that those who deal with computers just sit and play games or sit and endlessly input data into a computer. However, this is not the case, there is a scientific part of computer science that gives individuals freedom to be creative and learn about new and exciting developments in the computerized world. There are many career opportunities in computer science and…
