Otaku Alpha Male: Nov 11, 2012; bitches get ~tsundere~ when I pull out my katana

a scientist, like an astronomer for example, researches the stars

a biologist researches fish and dogs etc

a computer "scientist" however researches computers?

BUT a computer is built by PEOPLE, so we already know all the parts and what they do

not a real "SCIENCE" if you ask me

normally scientists are called "anthopologist" or "physicist"

why dont computer scientists call themselves "computerists"?

because they need to tell everyone theyre "scientists" or else nobody would believe them

but working w/ computers is very complicated you say?

well maybe spend some time making them easier to USE then!!

computing (calculating, counting, etc.) existed before computers (the machines) existed. they should go with math though
