Hello
all, Jay Patel here! I’m an Undergraduate student in the Computer Science
department (CoSci) at San Jose State University. Welcome to my new blog. My
blog will focus on various technical topics and it will also incorporate useful
technical information that will help all of us to improve our understanding
about current computer technological news. My intent will be to cover essential
topics on tools and new technology. I am looking forward to receive your
feedback and comments.
About Me
I
am a programmer: someone who gives instructions to computer or technological
devices to accomplish certain tasks. As a programmer, I have acquired a few
technical skills. My technical expertise includes programming languages,
programming tools, and knowledge of different operating systems. To be
specific, I have knowledge of programming languages such as Java, C, also
knowledge of UML. Some of the programming tools that I know include GCC, GDB,
and Mercurial. Lastly, I have utilized Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, and
Unix operating systems.
Why
Computer Science?
I
find Computer Science to be very fascinating because this is the field which
enables humans to give commands to one of the fastest machines on earth. This
field gives us a power to work with the computer to accomplish tremendous
amount of work within nanoseconds. It also provides a pathway to enormous
information, and makes our lives easier. Additionally, this field of technology
gives life to many electronic devices, which is very impressive to me. Another
reason I believe that Computer Science is very powerful field to be in, is because
in our daily profession and personal lives, we all use technologies almost
every minute. One of the examples, that I always think about is, even though
Computer Science and Medical fields have no direct connections with each other,
it is nearly impossible for the Medical field to survive without technologies
that computer scientists give birth to.
Although
we have made tremendous progress in the field of Computer Science, there are
still a few unanswered questions that still need to be answered. One of the
problems that still require solution is protecting the privacy of users. I am
interested in tackling this particular issue in the future because protecting
privacy of users would mean saving their identity from becoming public.
Hello Jay. I am glad to meet you and also very excited with your similar interest in the medical field. I also agree with how medical equipment is strongly tied to computer science. It is absolutely crucial for emerging technologies to have some code written for it to function properly. I was also interested in your ambition to tackle the problem of protecting user’s private information. I was just wondering what exactly you meant by “saving their identity from becoming public”. I would be very interested if you talked about this issue in a little more detail because when I read this part, it sparked my interest. In addition, I am also very glad that you have knowledge of UML because I feel that it is an essential tool for programming. A lot of programmers skip the UML when they are in the planning phase because they feel that it is an unnecessary step in the process. On the contrary, I know of some situations where it is crucial to diagram parts of the code to organize things a lot more professionally. All in all Jay, you seem like a very intelligent person with strong ideas. I really hope you pursue with your interests and please keep me up to date with how you proceed. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Romin for your interest in my blog. To answer your question, what I meant by "Saving their identity from becoming public" is when users live their digital foot print behind in social networking sites, often many hackers are able to gain those information about the users, and hackers use those information for their benefits. As a computer scientists, we should be able to stop this by developing stronger and safer software which will (for most part) will be able to solve privacy issues.
