...State faculty member, I chose to meet with Dr. Pavel Azalov. My intended major is computer science, so Dr. Azalov seemed to be the best option for myself. When I was coming up with questions to ask during the interview, I wanted to focus on my future at Penn State and what I should expect when it comes time for me to take courses related to computer science. By doing this, I hoped to gain a better understanding of the process of getting a degree in computer science. My first question I asked was to see if I was personally ready to begin taking college level computer science courses. I was not sure of the level of experience with computer programming was recommended for entry level classes in the field of study. As I would come to learn, there is no experience required for basic programming classes, and this came to me as sort of a surprise. Almost every major subject, whether it is math, writing, history, or science, usually requires some sort of background knowledge of the subject. Some people may not think of it that way, though. These...

According to Crede & Mansell (1998), ICTs are crucially important for sustainable development in developing countries. Thioune (2003) notes that for the past two decades most developed countries have witnessed significant changes that can be traced to ICTs. These multi-dimensional changes have been observed in almost all aspects of life: economics, education, communication, and travel. In a technologydriven society, getting information quickly is important for both sender and receiver. ICTs have made it possible to quickly find and distribute information. Thoiune (2003) indicates that many initiatives have taken at the international level to support Africa's efforts to develop a communication infrastructure and. These efforts are designed to enable African countries, including Nigeria, to find faster ways to achieve durable and sustainable development.

...of? Many of the items you use today are a result of technology. Your cell phone, microwave oven, washing machine, and plastic cup are all the result of scientific discoveries combined with engineering that have allow people to invent products that have improved the way people live. Technological advances have improved our health, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, how we travel, and how we communicate with one another. There are a few drawbacks to some aspects of technology (such as pollution) but overall technology has greatly improved many aspects of living for most people. So, try to think about how people live without the technology today. DEFINITION OF TECHNOLOGY Technology started far earlier than engineering and science since the time of the pre-civilization. Early humans created technologies life such as artefacts simple tool knife, spear points, arrow, stone mill, wedges, and axes of stone to help them live.

..."The Beauty and Joy of Computing: Computer Science for Everyone", Constructionism 2012, Athens. About the development of CS 10, Berkeley's new CS breadth course for non-majors. Why Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs matters In 2011, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of MIT, the Boston Globe made a list of the most important MIT innovations, and they asked me to explain the importance of SICP. This is what I sent them. "Bringing 'No Ceiling' to Scratch: Can One Language Serve Kids and Computer Scientists?" (with Jens Mönig, a talk at the Constructionism 2010 conference in Paris). Scratch is the brilliant grandchild of Logo, from the MIT Media Lab, that uses drag-and-drop visual programming to achieve, truly at last, the "no threshold" half of Logo's famous promise, combined with a half-million-strong social network of kid programmers sharing projects and working collaboratively. But Scratch deliberately drops the "no ceiling" part. How hard would it be to do both at once? Not hard at all, we think, if we remember Lisp's core idea of procedure as data. BYOB (Build Your Own Blocks) is an experimental implementation of this goal. "Speech at UCB CS Graduation, 2005"At Berkeley every department has its own graduation ceremony.

...visions. It is the term which is used in the social sciences, particularly ethnology, anthropology, and sociology for anything created by humans which gives information about the culture of its creator and users. For example, in an anthropological context, a 17th century lathes, a piece of faience or a television each provide a wealth of information about the time in which they were manufactured and used. Cultural artifact provides information about the technological processes, economy and social makeup and a host of other subjects. We live among cultural artifacts that have deep roots. Computers There are many inventors that contributed in the history of computers and that a computer is a complex piece of machinery made up of various parts, each of which can be considered a separate invention. The first freely programmable computer was invented by ‘Konrad Zuse’ in 1936. Later different inventors made various inventions throughout the history. First in 1600’s only calculating machines were invented. It had a great impact on computing. The ‘abacus’ was one of the first counting machines. Calculating machines were sold commercially before the advent of steel manufacturing technologies. Papyrus was something to write on, before we had paper. Writing was a way to record mathematical calculations. ‘Babbage’ and ‘Lovelace’ were ‘programming’ machines as early as the 1800’s before any military computer. The modern day computers are the...
