Week 1 Journal Entry

Hayden's Week 1 Journal Entry

When you hear the term computer science, what comes to mind?

I tend to think of very organized, literal people. I also usually imagine a lot of people crowded around computers in a small office located in Palo Alto.

When older relatives or friends hear the term computer science, what do you think comes to their minds?

I would assume that the massive computers of their days come to mind. I imagine the older relatives and friends envisioning a man in a lab coat seated in front of a computer the size of a kitchen.

When younger relatives or friends hear the term computer science, what do you think comes to their minds?

I believe the younger generation would imagine a bunch of people on iphones, tablets, and computers designing apps.

When you hear the term biology, what comes to mind?

When I hear the term biology, I begin to think about cells. I envision an image of a cell, with a cell wall, organelles and a nucleus.

Do you consider yourself a biologist? why or why not?

I wouldn't consider myself a biologist, mostly due to what the term biologist means to me. I consider a biologist to be someone who dedicates their lives to finding and examining specimens from nature.
