Exploring the Future

I am excited about the future of computer science. Many jobs in the future will need computer expertise. Even though one may not to major in CS, a basic understanding of some CS I find could be very beneficial. When we want to change a layout of a website or a color, and the website maker we are using does not support those features we want to change, a knowledge of html and css to edit to your own liking can come in very handy.

    I agree CS is growing and becoming a bigger portion of the workforce daily.  Also knowing CS helps people navigate websites and apps better. 
  2. Re: Exploring the Future
    I agree with how much CS jobs are going to grow and think that many other jobs will be influenced by CS and technology in the future.

    Not only influenced by CS, but informed by humans. The reason type and color is finally back in the forefront is because people want "authentic" experiences - not only with brand honestly, but also comfort.  If the color, text, layout, etc. feels comfortable, they're much more likely to want to spend more time there and hopefully spend more money smile

    A great case study right now is Animal Crossing.  It will always have its' diehard fans, but the fact it was released a week after shutdowns started and features a remote island that you can relax and build up at your own pace, with idyllic scenery and calming music, helped Nintendo to blow their sales forecasts out of the water - it's an extremely calming and comfortable game, and everyone wants that right now.

    This makes me think back to learning HTML and CSS because, even though it seems like more work, I think it is easier to create a page from scratch that it is to follow a template. The reason I think this is because you, as a creator, already have a base of the exact design you want, and it can be harder to follow a template because you are not getting to work in every detail you want.

  5. Building HTML
    Saydee, I agree! Building a site from scratch is usually easier than working off of a template. It is harder to edit other work that is not yours!

    I agree, CS is becoming more and more effective each day because just about everything is technology now.
