Computers have become a standard part of daily life. As such, computer science professionals play a huge role in improving society’s communication and access to information. These professionals are responsible for creating the tools needed for staying connected as a society, including emails, Facebook messages, and Twitter.
Beyond improving communication between friends and family, these tools disseminate information to society at a much faster pace. Rather than waiting for a newspaper, people receive updates about local, national, and international occurrences nearly instantaneously.
Computer science also benefits society by developing new methods of protection for people and organizations. Knowing that personal information is protected, society can continue using computers and phones with peace of mind.
Finally, computer science improves education. Students are capable of sharing work with their peers online or submitting a completed paper to their professor through email. Meanwhile, underserved communities have improved access to high-quality education through their phones and computers.
