Please advise my essay..
Imagine a world that is fully automated and controlled by computers. Human are just a piece of data in this computer world. I can be at anywhere that is connected to internet network. Touring New York City, visiting my family in Myanmar, Venturing into jungles can be done just with just a few clicks. I might call it "Teleporting". I frequently think of this fantasy world after I watched science fiction movies. I didn't realize that that could become a reality.
Why my fantasy world is all about computers? I would say it is my passion. From an early age, I have always been deeply interested in computing. I have always been curious about how a tiny machine can process such an amazing outcome from a simple or complex task. The interest never left me, only growing more and passionate with every new technology that is discovered. After my high school, I chose to enrol into an information technology course in Ngee Ann Polytechnic.
My own experiences studying engineering informatics have contributed in me a determination to find revolutionary way of making things done with the aid of computer technology. My assignments often seemed to be based on real life problems. I had to find out solutions that are founded with little room for creativity and old concept of doing things that enhance or totally change the way we deal with things. IPhone is a recent bold example of that. It changes the way we surf internet, buy things, play games and etc.
Not only I studied at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, I also went for several voluntary services. As I was a lifeguard certificate holder, I went to Kusu Island where a Kusu Pilgrimage season is held once a year. Pilgrims made the trip to the island to prey and offer the temple on the island. My duty was to make sure that everything was going well and safe. People might not want to hear my whistle tune but I was happy when I raised water safety awareness and prevented dangerous situation by blowing whistle. I wanted to see smile on everyone face when he went back. One time, a father came to me and thanked me that I kept his daughter away from going into dangerous and deep water area. I was very pleased that I didn't know how to express it. This voluntary was meaningful and taught me lessons outside school text book.
Currently, I am doing my final project on building a gantry crane with Lego Mindstorms pieces. I am constructing gantry crane for logistic centre of the school because small gantry crane model is expensive. My partner and I decided to provide a solution with Lego Mindstorms. Interestingly, I get a chance to use all my knowledge of mechanical engineering and programming. What more? I also put my creative thinking and project management skills on this project. That is where I realize how useful my lectures are. This project is the best experience of my Ngee Ann life.
I discovered a new goal while I was pursuing my diploma. Why didn't I think of making computer go to users not the other way, users learn how to use them? I am convinced that computers can be useful tools for normal people, a powerful means to communicate, and integral part of our lives. But in real world, my parents don't know how to use them. My best friend refused to major in computer science because she thinks its culture is avoidant of human relationships. This made me understand that there is a necessity to explore new modes of interaction with computers. As computation becomes more widespread, more integrated in everyday objects, it will become more and more difficult to simply avoid computers we don't like to use.
In order to meet my goal, I will choose computer science as my major. This program will equip me to become a computer innovator. After the computer science degree program, I will have the ability to make computer reachable by more people. Many people still do not know what a computer is. Therefore I will never let my aim goes away without achieving it.
