It’s 7 a.m. The alarm programmed on your smartphone is in charge of reminding you. It’s time to get up to face a new day, but first, without even getting out of bed, you check your email and take a quick look to see what’s going on on social networks.
You have a freshly brewed coffee with your espresso machine while sending a WhatsApp to your partner to remind them to be home at 12 to pick up the online order you placed two days ago.
You shower, dry your hair, clean your teeth with your electric toothbrush and leave the house beeping because it’s 8:30 a.m. and you don’t want to miss public transport to get to work.
It’s been less than two hours since you opened your eyes and almost every action you’ve carried out technology and computer science have played a key role. Without them, your life would be completely different.
And, despite the fact that technology and computing permeate our daily lives, few are clear about what these concepts mean. In fact, there is a tendency to use them synonymously. However, there are clear differences between technology and computing.
