Course summary

Take a look at the world around you. How close to a computer are you? When was the last time you used one? When was the last time you were creative with one? Life without computers is almost unimaginable. There is nothing that does not involve computing in some way. Computing is not just about writing code for a computer. There is far more to it than that. If you want evidence of this, just look at the amazing artwork or the surround sound and special effects that go into all the multi-million pound video games. Watch any modern film and the special effects will show countless examples of computing in action. The music you listen to has been engineered, compressed and transmitted all thanks to computers. Every aspect of modern life is captured on social media.
