Jeannette M. Wing – Computational Thinking and Thinking About Computing

23 April, 12:33, by admin Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

Computational thinking will be a fundamental skill used by everyone in the world. To reading, writing, and arithmetic, lets add computational thinking to every childs analytical ability. Computational thinking is an approach to solving problems, building systems, and understanding human behavior that draws on the power and limits of computing. While computational thinking has already begun to influence many disciplines, from the sciences to the humanities, the best is yet to come.Looking to the future, we can anticipate even more profound impact of computational thinking on science, technology, and society: on the ways new discoveries will be made, innovation will occur, and cultures will evolve.

MY NEW PROJECT WITH MY COHOST CRAIG KESNER:
INTELLECTUAL GIVERS WITH CRAIG KESNER & RICK MARLOWE

Free Your Mind and Mentality Edition 15. A Talk Show.

I use a lifetimes worth of experience – including being around the block a few times to shed some light on these matters. As always, I give you the insiders view on the attitudes, culture of the Asian people. As always – I try to remain objective, fair and balanced. I try to stick with the facts. I use experience, logic, critical thinking, fairness in my critical analysis. These are very serious social, cultural issues. Their is not much comedy here, nor should be, these are real problems, we need solutions not reaction.

When making your movie response, everyone needs to tell us:

1. Their Gender
2. Their Age
3. Their Nationality

We need to know who where talking to to consider your words and what you have to say. No vagueness.

How effective you convey your messages and points:

100% face to face = you see their face, mannerisms, sound and tone of their voice, persona, body language, if they happy, sad.

50% telephone/teletalk = you hear them, hear their sound and tone, but that is all.

10% typing/e-mail/text message/instant messenger (typing only) = you don’t know any of the above, you see words, you don’t know the tone of the words, or how it sounds, most ineffective/backwards way to communicate. It is very slow and time consuming. And you get ignored a lot.

Get Broad-Minded & Educated:
Quotes – Why not to use typing/text messenging/e-mail/ text comments/You Tube e-mail:

“email, instant messenger and typing inpersonalizes effective communication between people. You do not see there face, you do not know there mannerisms, the sound or tone of there voice. It is substandard communication, and the anonymity of the internet and email has virtually made it impossible for old fashioned personalized effective communication.” “It is not the greatest thing since sliced bread.” – cerebral01

“My take on email. The biggest problem I see is being ignored. People can be narcissistic, flatulent, arrogant, condescending, aristocratic, or all of the above. There is nothing more wrong than sending someone a communication via e-mail, you are articulate, like to express yourself fully, taking the time to write the e-mail, sending it, expecting a reply, then never getting one. – cerebral01

“You take the time to write a short or long letter, send it via e-mail, its polished, detailed, but concise, and most of all, to the point. You expect an answer, right? Wrong. From my experience, most people tend to ignore all these factors, and ignore you. – cerebral01

“Cons: The anonymity of the internet and email might just lead to total impersonalization of society, Pros: Nothing good about it, although you can send files on it – cerebral01

“Because email is free, does not make it better.” I would rather pay for quality, than quantity.” – cerebral01

Optional quotes

“It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.” – William Kingdon Clifford, Mathematician and Philosopher (May 4, 1845 – March 3, 1879)

-

Fundamentally, I believe e-mail is substandard and ineffective communication. These are rudimentary, basic points.
