Let's get right to defining it, shall we?     Computer Science is defined as the study of computers and computing, including their theoretical and algorithmic foundations, hardware and software, and their uses for processing information. 1   In other words, the inner workings of a computer.          Alan Turing, considered by many to be the father of modern computer science, formed the concept of algorithms and computations with his invention, named the Turing Machine. The Turing Machine could be adapted to do any algorithm, no matter how complex. This was done in 1936. 2     Although a lot of jobs from Information Technology can be obtained with learning information through Computer Science, Computer Science deals more with making the computer and it's parts. Some specific jobs a...
