Why study computing? What aspect of modern life has not been affected by computing technologies? Personal computers, game machines, routers, laptops, tablets, smart phones, and wearable electronics have certainly changed the landscape of daily life, but older technologies that we take for granted are also now controlled by software. Automobiles, airplanes, televisions, scientific instruments, medical devices, printers, furnaces, washing machines, ovens, refrigerators, smart homes, ... the list of programmed devices goes on and on. The software applications that run all of these technologies were developed by people like you. An educational foundation in computing will open up many fields in which you can help make the world a better place using your imagination, interest and passion. It's also an excellent financial choice.
