The curious will learn.

You are here, so you know who this website belongs to.

I think I am ready to be a part of this programme. To learn more about the things that make me curious and actually learn to understand and create in this field of work.

From as young as I have been aware of computers, I have been curious about how their internal mechanisms function. As a younger child we did not exactly have a computer at home on which I was allowed to experiment, but I remember begging my father to let me install minecraft mods. He did, however, let me do classes and projects on Code.org

He never let me install those mods though, too afraid I would permanently damage something. Which honestly, I would have.

I think the IT course is a good fit for me because:

• It is a lot of impromptu problem solving, which I love
• It is a lot of project work, which I think is a fun challenge
• It is sometimes out of the box thinking, which can be silly and very fun
• It is a lot of structuring and design, learning what is intuitive and how to do things best is fun

Now that I have become older and have my own money and a frontal lobe more capable of reasonable decisions, I am allowed to start and experiment. I am excited to learn things I did not know before, and I look forward an incredible amount to learning all about these languages that I have heard of, but never learnt to read.

I especially look forward to learning JavaScript. Perhaps in the future I will be creating what I was so curious about, a Minecraft mod! If ever I come up with an idea decent enough.

I hope all of you are just as excited as I am to go into this year and start learning!

Intrinsic Motivation

Though, if you find yourself even more curious about my actual motivation for the programme, here is a little exercise we were offered in Lecture. I will be answering "Why ICT?" a few times.

So, Why ICT?

Because computers have always seemed interesting to me.

But why do computers seem interesting?

Because they seem magic, but actually work on logic and I want to learn to understand that.

But why do you want to understand that logic?

Because not very many people are able to, and I would feel really cool if I could.

But why would it make you feel cool?

Because I would feel really proud of myself for learning something so complex. It would be like speaking another language to me.

Incredible pride, it satiates curiousity.

Previous project

I have previously worked on a website before, though the intention of this prevous site was to look both retro and intentionally awful.

I cannot claim I have grown a lot since then, but maybe a little?
