COMPUTER SCIENCE AUTOBIOGRAPHY
I first started using a computer when I was 7 (?).
I use primarily Windows based computers, but have also used Mac and Unix.
I use computers everyday for homework, email, internet browsing, and computer science.
I used to do a lot of web programming, so I just became interested in CS.
I think a computer scientists can do a range of things on a daily basis from discussing ideas, to designing systems, to actual programming.
Completing my I.B. CS project was the best thing - it was (printed) 30 pages of code and had a 65-page write-up with it.
I like programming with either fun or practical applications. These range from games to stock-market programs.
I'm planning on going into either the CS field or finance, so computers will be a part of my everyday life.
Enjoy,
Symon Perriman
