Not only is it incredibly expressive — allowing for an infinite number of combinations of words, images, and ideas —but when done well, it produces a functional and useful product that can entertain and inform the masses.   When most people think of computer science,they generally envision programming.Often, they assume that the field is full of people who sit alone at their computers all day, staring at large screens and drinking coffee.
