Publisher's Synopsis
Today's society is a fast-paced, instant gratification kind of world. Everyone wants results immediately and most have some form of technology in their homes. Computers are considered to be some of the twenty first century's most wondrous achievements. Computers are now in everything we do-they are literally everywhere from traffic light sensors to GPS locator chips that end up being implanted into animals in case that animal gets lost. Now, one can even obtain a watch that can be synchronized with one's cell phone in order to remain completely plugged into social media. But, how is this possible? What 'magic' and science allows this technology to happen? It is known that computers cannot function by themselves. A computer programmer is often responsible for typing in a sort of syntactical code to create a program. When that program is ran, the computer then translates that code into a language that the computer can understand thus allowing the computer to execute the function or functions desired by the program.
