The underdog of sciences: Computer Science

Hey friends how's it going?Well I recently met this person who is working in some fire and safety firm.He gave me a ride, on the way he asked me what was I doing?I said-"I am pursuing my degree in Computer science",at which he smiled and said Computer Science mania.WTF.I mean if you are doing your major in physics and mathematics you are considered to be a great academic, If you are doing B.tech in any other branch except computer science you are the bright engineer.The moment you say Computer science you are labeled a maniac some kind of a wannabe.Computer science deserves every bit of respect that any other branch of science or engineering gets.

Recently some reality show producer made a remark that people who spend time in front of computer have no life.The producer is a baldy who's famous for scaring the shit out of young kids by putting them in a room and abusing them.I guess that is a great thing to do, as he has turned into this self reclaimed youth icon.God save the youth of this country.I guess you would have guessed who is he?Well he's Raghu(Yeah! Raghu i named you.Sue me _|_).He does'nt have a clue what he is talking about.The site that he uses to publish his content and videos is designed by some geek, the TV that he uses to telecast his TRP hunting show runs on algorithms designed by us.

These CS greats are responding to your comment in their own way.

Now,lets remind people what is computer science doing for them.We are there in your microwave,in your television,in the smart grids that supply electricity to your home.You go to the general store we are there at the cashier's system.We have enabled you to communicate with your friends and family,given you email,chat.Remember the days when you had to write a letter and wait for snail mail to arrive.We are there at the reservation counter,we are at your bank.We have designed the software that runs industries, that drives satellites.We have developed robots that assist old people in Japan,we have designed system that checks your answer sheets in your exam.We have designed all your favourite sites that you use whole day and the tablets, computers, ipads ,ipods and what not.So,next time you meet a computer engineer show some Respect.Signing off\m/.

The Humble Programmer-"Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (May 11,1930-Aug 6,2002)"

Edsger Wybe Dijsktra, Professor Emiretus Department of Computer Science, University of Texas. Working in his small office with a few close scholars he solved problems of great importance which shaped development of computer science as a respectable scientific discipline. He was born to a chemist father and a mathematician mother. His mother was a lasting influence on his approach to mathematics and his emphasis on elegance. Those days computers were a novelty and he happened to be a programmer by accident. A. van Wijngaarden, the then director of the Computation Department at the Mathematical Center in Amsterdam offered him a job, which he accepted becoming Netherlands’ first official programmer. When Dijkstra married Maria (Ria) C. Debets in 1957, he was required as a part of the marriage rites to state his profession. He stated that he was a programmer, which was unacceptable to the authorities, there being no such profession at that time in The Netherlands. And, believe it or not,...
