INTRODUCTION

The rise of information technology or IT has profoundly affected modern


society. Consequently, computers have become devices of daily use. In this
paper, the need of computer science education will be reflected on. The
analysis will focus on the current situation of today’s society, where IT and
telecommunications are playing a crucial role. World Wide Web and advanced
IT tools have created new opportunities before computer science. So
computers can be considered as intricately interacting with human social
processes, where learning needs are diversifying everyday.

I- On the social plan


Computer scientists can easily get into direct applications that address
societal issues like poverty, unemployment, climate change and more.
France is utilizing startups by assigning teams to create solutions when a public
agent identifies a problem. Then the solutions go live nationally. This approach
allows computer scientists and other technology professionals to jump in and
meet needs as they arise in their communities.
Sites like DataKind, Taproot and Code Alliance can be excellent resources for
computer scientists who want to put their skills to work for global issues. These
platforms allow a wide array of tech professionals to create, support and
execute projects that change lives.
There are also indirect benefits from the tools computer scientists build, Rihet
points out. Consider charities that are now able to streamline their donations,
or crowdfunded campaigns that can gather a following and financial backing.
1. Empowering people who are often overlooked
“An amazing benefit of software is that it can be freely distributed to
everyone, thanks to open-source contributors,” Rihet says. “This fact truly
empowers people.” When tools to build revenue and solve business problems
are available to everyone—it can level the playing field.
For example, finding clients can be an expensive endeavor. If you are a service
provider coming to your business without a ton of extra cash, it can be hard to
stay afloat. Samantha Hugo, CEO of Hugomatica, says computer science can
make a huge difference here.
“For example, beauticians often do not determine their own work hours or find
their own clients because they don't know how.” Seeing this need, Hugo’s
company created an app that allows beauticians to recruit their own clients
and set their own schedules.
2. Paving the way for a more equitable world
Computer science can really help level the playing field in terms of
inexpensive solutions. But Hugo also points out that it can be an equalizer in
other ways. Though technology as an industry has an under representation of
women and racial minorities, Hugo sees computer science as a tool for societal
rebalance when it comes to gender identity, background, ethnicity and beyond.
Code is code—and if you’ve created something genuinely useful, your
background isn’t going to hold you back.
“The App Store has the same requirements for all developers,” she points out.
Hugo says it is a positive step for society that computers are blind to everything
but the code.
3. Positively impacting every area of society
Though it’s not always hands-on, almost every aspect of society—from
family-owned businesses needing digital protection to homeless shelters
needing a way to streamline their volunteer base—relies on the innovations
spurred by computer science professionals.
“Computer science is a noble profession without which today’s world would
come to a complete halt,” Nand says. When it comes to finding a career that
allows you to positively benefit the world around you, look no further than
computer science!
4. Furthering education
E-learning platforms and applications give students new tools to problem-
solve and study, which has changed the academic world. The ability to take
classes online is also a huge benefit for the world—as it creates access to
education for students whose locations, abilities or finances were a barrier.
II- In term of health : Accelerating healthcare progress
Healthcare tends to be a pretty high priority when you consider how to
improve people’s lives.
One of the most exciting facets of computer science is its power to improve
and accelerate every other field. “Data science and artificial intelligence (AI) as
subsets of computer science allow people and organizations to accelerate and
‘prepackage thought.’ In this way, computer science and artificial intelligence
can make any other discipline many, many times better.”
Genomics and personalized medicine are an excellent example of how
computer science-driven technologies are accelerating healthcare progress.
The genome sequencing process that powers this frontier of medicine used to
cost tens of millions of dollars to complete, but machine-learning techniques
and improved computing power have dropped costs substantially.

III- computing for prediction and communication

1. Expanding communication
“The biggest contribution computer science has made is in the field of
communication,” .Computer Science has made the whole world a very small
place—available at your fingertips now.
Video calling and chatting apps—even the applications that allow you to share
documents and photos with someone else long-distance. These capacities have
completely revolutionized the workforce.
2. Predicting and avoiding catastrophes
Computer science is scaling—and scaling very fast for that matter,
according to Nand. Applying computer science to prediction can have a huge
impact on the world. “We are predicting human behavior; we are predicting
climates, seasons, ocean currents, etc.” Nand says.
With these tools, we can predict everything from an incoming tsunami to the
outbreak pattern of a pathogen. In that way, some of the most life-saving work
that happens in our world relies on computer scientists. Computer science is
even in action when predicting the trajectory of dangerous comets near our
planet.

Conclusion
In short it was a question for us to give the importance of the data
processing of our day. we gave the impact of this technology on several fields
including health, communication, social, education. however we can say that
the revolutionary computer technology has changed our lives and we could not
evolve without it.
