Computing : using computers technology and writing programs for them. It is part of the Information Technology.

Computer science is the study of computing and the application of its theories. Scientific computing is concerned with constructing mathematical models or simulations with the aid of computers in order to analyze and solve scientific, economic, social and engineering problems.

> Computing has dramatically influenced progress in science, engineering, business, and many other areas of human endeavor. In today’s world, nearly everyone needs to use computers, and many will want to study computing in some form. Computing will continue to present challenging career opportunities, and those who work in computing will have a crucial role in shaping the future. [1]

## Prescient Quotes on Computing Surveillance[edit]

* "The progress of science in furnishing the government with means of espionage is not likely to stop with wiretapping. Ways may some day be developed by which the government, without removing papers from secret drawers, can reproduce them in court, and by which it will be enabled to expose to a jury the most intimate occurrences of the home. Advances in the psychic and related sciences may bring means of exploring unexpressed beliefs, thoughts and emotions. 'That places the liberty of every man in the hands of every petty officer' was said by James Otis of much lesser intrusions than these. 1 To Lord Camden a far slighter intrusion seemed 'subversive of all the comforts of society.' Can it be that the Constitution affords no protection against such invasions of individual security?"
* Louis Brandeis (1856-1941), United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Dissenting, Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438 (1928).
