Computational Thinking

Introduction

This paper intends to explore about 'Computational Thinking.' The concept of computational thinking was initially introduced by Dr. Jeannette M. Wing. Computational thinking basically refers to the ability to integrate the human thinking power with the capabilities of computers. Moreover, the concept of computational thinking as produced by Dr. Wing suggests that the power is created through the computational thinking along with limiting the processes involved in computing without the distinguished differences in the utilization by humans or machines. Computational thinking has the ability to be referred to as the 'manifesto for computer science.' All the computer scientists tend to possess this manifesto within them. The presence of the equipment or machine is not important for computer scientists. They just need to have their minds working and they can create huge advances in the field.

Discussion

Computational thinking is commonly known as a 'language' for solving problems. The concept of computational thinking possesses the power to identify the problem from the very core. Once the problem is identified, it becomes really easy to determine that areas of the problems can be solved through computation. Intellectual property is also one common phrase used for computational thinking. The basic concept behind computational thinking lies in the abilities of human beings to identify and cater the problems within the field of computer science utilizing their thinking power and also up to some extent, the computing methods (Jeannette, 2006).

Computational thinking is referred to as intellectual property because it is the way people think about solving the problems at their personal levels. Everyone possesses different viewpoints of addressing every unique problem and that is the reason why the concept of computational thinking is referred to as intellectual property. Constructive imagination is utilized every time when scientists are faced with unique computing problems. Computational thinking is bound to find solutions to the problems. Computational thinking is also used to provide crystallization to the natural phenomenon by providing unique names and labels to the things.

Computational thinking means to facilitate the working with systems which generates a lot of data with several positive and negative aspects attached to it. Moreover, the concept presented by Dr. Wing helps all of us to be in a position to understand the problematic situations more clearly thus making us enables to solve the problems efficiently. Computational thinking is a 'skill set' which is applicable around the globe. Moreover, this concept ...
