We live in a wired world. Nearly every moment of our lives, from the moment we wake up (to the sound of the alarm programmed on our iPhones), until we check our last e-mail of the day and shut off the lights (and program that alarm on the iPhone), is touched by computer technology.
Our cars, our kitchens, even our traffic lights depend upon computers to work properly. In turn, those computers working properly depend on the people who design them, make them, and maintain them.
Which means that one day, if you major in computer science or computer information science at Franciscan University, both those people and that technology will depend on you.
