My passion for technology and computers began in childhood when I was amazed by a personal computer which was awarded to me by my parents. My first experience in using a real computer encouraged me more to try much harder in school years to become a computer specialist. Consequently, I successfully passed school years by always ranking first among my classmates and received my high school diploma with 19.05 out of 20 GPA on the Iranian scale. In addition, my genuine enthusiasm which was followed…

“As a young boy, I was taught in high school, hacking was cool.” - Kevin Mitnick Tell me what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the term ‘hacking’? Brighten up your imagination a bit more and tell me how do you portray a ‘hacker’?

One term that is used by the majority of the population to describe a hacker is ‘cool’.…

“Don’t just play on your phone, program it.” This quote by President Obama, which hung in my AP Computer Science classroom, resonated with me from the first day. The class introduced me to the world of coding, but also inspired me to create and learn beyond the classroom. Most importantly, this class bonded a group of my classmates who shared a passion for computer science. At first we helped each other with labs and debugging in the Java based class; but as our knowledge grew of computer…

I believe that the plan to get back sweetie’s heart using computer science to scan her brain, and make a perfect A.I simulation of the program will ultimately fail. To first understand my arguments, one has to understand the argument of A.I, the different types, and why the A.I that is needed for this program will most likely never exist. I support Nagel’s theory, in which no matter how much technology advances, there will always be something different between machine and man. This puts A.I.…

the program. A Computer Science major can do extraordinary things with programming skills. For instance, say you are sick and check into a hospital to be looked over by a doctor. When you check in, the front desk worker has to put your…

The lessons Hopper’s father gave her inspired her to defy social norms. Additionally, her frustration with the lack of people who found their passion in programming and who could actually use a computer drove her to make computers usable by all. As a result of her accomplishments, Hopper advanced techniques in computer science, made computers able to be used in man different fields, and empowered others to…

In the book, Outliers: The Story of Success, by Malcolm Gladwell, the author is challenging our views of how people become successful. He is saying that to get to where you want to be you can’t rely solely on hard work or determination. It takes much more than that, something that many of us don’t get; opportunities. If you want to be successful, you need a series of opportunities that present themselves to you at the right time, to put you ahead of everyone else. He proves this idea in chapter…

This Is Us fits into Jason Mittell’s definition of “narrative complexity” through its unique use of operational…

creativity. First, Jay mentions that the learning ability is obligatory for a successful software engineer because today is an age in which the technology is growing with a high speed. New algorithms, improved methods are introduced every day. Programming language and tools are updated frequently. To adapt the developing speed of the applications and meet the requirement of their work, software engineers should love tinkering around systems and apps, and have a wide range of knowledge to figure…
