Computing Disciplines -What Textbook Don't Tell You ;)

 

”While you have this day, fill it with life”.

Hello world! Everyday feeling excited to fill in something on this blog. On this post, I would like to share some information about Computing Disciplines. I studied this topic on week two of my CTT1013 course, my lecturer provided me with slides and I’m done self study with it. I hope this writing would be a symbiosis interaction between you and me that going to benefit both ;)

First of all, I would like to ask you, is Computer Science is a philosophy? Or is it science, mathematics, engineering, art? Other? If you can sense of the discipline, how would Computer Science fit into its meaning? 

Generally, there are five type of computing discipline:

1.    Computer Science

2.    Software Engineering

3.    Information System

4.    Cognitive Science

5.    Computer Engineering

Come on, more is better than less. Instead of focusing on Computer Science only lets broaden our knowledge on knowing the difference of this all computing disciplines. 

Computer science generally is the mother of all computational disciplines that covers the applied mathematics, whereas Computer Engineering is more focusing the study of hardware, software, communications, and the interaction among them.

                    

   

So what is software engineering now? Let’s define this term with illustrations because I believe that picture explains thousand meanings.

                         

                           

Now, Information System and Cognitive Science left. Up up here we go, let’s get to know things behind this principles.

Information System is an academic field, why? Because it encompasses in two broad area. What is that?

1.    The information systems function

2.    Systems development

The last principle is Cognitive Science. The fundamental concept of cognitive science is 

"that thinking can best be understood in terms of representational structures in the mind and computational procedures that operate on those structures".

Walla! Computing discipline explanation accomplish!! :D Last but not least, i included "Computing Discipline at a Glance".

News Feed, One Laptop Per Child.

Attention fella!

Vision is the state of seeing. Vision is a long term planning that going to benefit the party involved. Vision of laptop per child (OLPC) is a Cambridge-based foundation. The idea is to distribute educational device for use in developing countries (Wikipedia: Vision of Laptop per Child, 2012).

When talking about this news, there are a lot of thoughts that coming through my head. 4W1H questions: what, when, where, why and how the pros and cons about this planning. As we know that laptop is very useful. It does not care whether you got it for free, as a gift; buy it through cash payment or loans you just will find it more useful if you gets it through hardship. You will be appreciate and use it to educational purposes. Let’s together do this vision successful one. 

"Whenever you live, in every part of the world, laptop will enhance your academic skills"

In heading through this vision, parents need to play vital role to ensure their children use the laptop in a good purposes. Strictly block pornography and gaming sites. Children are meant to be curiosity ones, this attitude sometimes lead them to a bad side of live. So dear parents and whoever going to be future parents, watchout! :D

These are some illustrations response to One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) vision. Take a look at it.

                               

Information Technology | Society

Indeed, that the development of IT influenced the common traditions of a society. There are many ways IT influenced us. If we looking through the history of IT from long time ago, it has proven that human being making sense to find many ways to live in practical way. As example, the invention of “abacus” in pre mechanical era was a great invention to help them in calculation.  I read an article that written by Konsbruck Robert Lee entitled Impacts of Information Technology on Society in the new Century, it is informative article on how IT making sense on this globalization era. Full article of Konsbruck click here :)

What IT serve us?

• Headways in Business Models, Commerce and Market Structure
• Advancement in Workplace and Labour Market
• Improvement in Education
• Enhance Private Life and Society

 

What IT serves me?

·      Frankly speaking, IT serves me a lot of things. If I clarify all the things that it serves me, no other options that I’m going to write four page longs ;p Information Technology helps me to live my life to the fullest. A few days ago my father just gives me a Blackberry as a birthday present. I can feel and get to know about the world with just a tap of buttons. 

Many-many of thanks papa<3

Hello everyone. Assalamualaikum wbt. I started my sun rising with grateful to Allah to give me another chance to inhale the fresh air on earth. Currently, I am studying Bachelor of Science in Information Technology.  A wise man once said that this course going to lead us  to adventurous but yet enjoyable journey. No doubt that I am using IT in my daily life routine. In conjunction of this course, I would like to share some of my random thoughts on this blog.
