| Computer scientists ... ( 5 months ago by ffasdfaasdfdsafsadfa) |
| Computer scientists also have spiky hair and drive flying cars. Get it right, MIcrosoft! Believe it or not, comp sci is a lot more interesting than this video conveys. And a lot less like the movie "Hackers." |
| and a lot less ... ( 3 months ago by cassidy408) |
| and a lot less related to robotics and engineering than a video about a guy getting followed by a flying robot conveys. It also has nothing to do with skateboarding. |
| If you want to make ... ( 3 months ago by cassidy408) |
| If you want to make stuff in the video, you'd be more interested in robotics engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering but not computer science. Computer science is software only. As much as I like computer science, that is the truth. |
| Yea, but without ... ( 3 months ago by Islandfad) |
| Yea, but without software this machine wouldn't work. There is truth in what you say. But computer science is not as much about computers as people think. Computers are just the medium that we use to express our art. That doesn't mean you're limited by your instruction, however. Some of the world's smartest and most recognized men and women were people that used their skill in ways others did not think of. Software is rapidly being found in everything these days. Don't neglect your creativity. |
| The video is ... ( 3 months ago by joshig1983) |
| The video is deceptive, though. It is probably made for people that haven't studied it at all and don't yet know what computer science is. For these people, they are basically defining computer science as everything related to robots, hardware, user interfaces... As creative as you may be, there are other fields like engineering that are better suited to the people this work appeals to. |
| Indeed, computer ... ( 3 months ago by Islandfad) |
| Indeed, computer science isn't really the way to go if robotics are more your thing. But I don't think robotics is the message of this demo. People get so caught up with procedure that they forget to try new innovative ideas. I think the point of this video isn't just about robotics, but the possibilities of computer science. That is 'The science of computers'. Not simply derivative via class room lectures or curriculum, but the avenue of innovation, research and development. |

| Pretty sweet. Come in, make myself some breakfast, sit down, eat, read my email, browse the net, check out what's going on in the world, both IT and non-IT related. When I have finished breakkie I check what needs to be done in the project list, do it while chatting on msn or checking out youtube videos, as long as I am meeting the deadlines it is smooth sailing, plus I have learnt a lot since I started working here, especially OO web design and using ORMs on top of a DBAL. |
| Josh you have a ... ( 3 months ago by lushFLIPREALLYSORRY) |
| Josh you have a point, but this video is clearly trying to give the impression that computer science is more interesting than people may have originally thought. Sure, they don't build the robot from scratch, but they do play a key role in how it interacts with the environment. Engineers from all fields work closely together, so you may not have built the actual circuits, the body, or any materialistic part, however, you provided the code for it which is equally as important. |
| Maybe they could ... ( 3 months ago by joshig1983) |
| Maybe they could show that relationship between engineers and software developers more accurately by showing such a team in a robotics competition and ending with each member explaining what each contributed. Advertising a career in computer science like this video is like advertising a career in physics by showing a space ship getting sucked into a black hole with R&B music playing in the background. |
| If you want to be a ... ( 3 months ago by joshig1983) |
| If you want to be a graphic designer, study visual art. If you want to create computer hardware, study electrical engineering. Computer science basically studies how to make computer software. There are many job titles but they won't be very meaningful without familiarity with software development. What is a software engineer? What is a database administrator, network administrator, computer programmer, web programmer, or a software analyst? Employers can use flashy names to attract workers. |
| The software in ... ( 3 months ago by joshig1983) |
| The software in that video already exists or can be easily implemented. The unsolved problems are with the lack of physical capabilities for the devices in that video. The robot is moving better than a fighter jet. Computer science grads won't make the depiction in the video a reality. Engineers will. |
| If you have an idea ... ( 3 months ago by joshig1983) |
| If you have an idea, refine it enough and if you are capable of implementing each detail of it, you can implement the whole solution. A lot of the things in sci fi are not yet possible because only a few little parts haven't been solved. Computer hardware is the main problem in the video. The graphical interfaces are more work of artists than computer science graduates. |

| I got a degree in BCompSci (Computer Science), once I had my degree I sat around at home for a while still working part-time at one of the jobs I had during Uni (College if you're in the states). I had basic skills in PHP and MySQL (what I use now) and extensive knowledge in other languages and OO concepts. My mate then told me where he was working they needed another web developer, I applied, got the job and here I am 10 months later. :) |
| Also, you don't ... ( 2 months ago by lushFLIPREALLYSORRY) |
| Also, you don't need a degree to get into developing. There are abt ~10 web developers where I work, and not all of them have bachelor degrees. You can also do a tafe course, or cert or whatever, that gives you those skills, then after that experience is what matters. The degree is pretty fun though, I programmed a miniature elevator, routing between mobile phones and heaps of other cool stuff. |

| I'm a bit confused,I've read the comments and people are like, if you want to do robotics, you should be an engineer and all that. Isn't computer science a part of engineering in a way? I mean, sure, you can build the robot, but it needs to be programed, and programing is a sub field under computer science, so if you want to program robots/make them like really work, then get in to a programing field of sorts, which, from what I've seen and heard, computer science is. Correct me if I'm wrong. |
