Previously any new technological discoveries or advances used to make me compute in my mind about the things used to create it, the data structures and the language that goes into making it, etc. However, after taking up this class my perspective has shifted to things like the design issues, the flaws with the user…

With interests in multiple areas of study it makes it difficult to decide on one for a cognate. I have spent most of my time considering security or human computer interaction.
