Way too broad of a definition. I clearly meant computing and how a person interacts with their devices as that was the discussion at hand.

- thaumasiotes 6y agoWhy would this differ from any other technology?
- nightski 6y agoI'm really surprised to hear you question how computing is different from any other technology? General purpose computing is extremely broad in scope. It's used in everything from finance, design, manufacturing, communication, engineering, medical, entertainment - pretty much every field or industry in the world has been impacted by it. More so than any other technology in existence. Even something like gasoline has had less impact than computing. Being able to take advantage of this powerful tool is a huge leg up on life. There are countless applications of computers in our daily lives. To just ignore that and use them for their bare minimum function is quite sad!

(I unlisted writing from my earlier comment because, unlike other technologies, anyone capable of using writing must also have a good understanding of how it works.)
