Clara Onyeanu, one of the most amazing computer scientists of our time, granted me an interview.
Clara who is days away from being a full BSc holder from Ebonyi State University, allowed me explore in her thought,,,
Me:Hey
Clara:Hi
Me:When did you develop interest in computer and technology?
Clara:Since I was young
Me: That's wow, so tell me about computer, technology and all of that.
Clara:Computer is a fast calculating device that accepts input, processes the data based on the information stored in its memory, and gives a resultant output which can be used for future purposes. Technology deals with innovations.
Me: What's the level of technological advances in Nigeria?
Clara:Nothing to write home about
Me:What is the reason
Clara: It is an IT problem, not welcoming new ideas and not making right use of resources. Lack of well trained computer analysts
Me: What can be done?
Clara: Make people pick or have interest in It
Me:How can this be done?
Clara: Introducing IT in all areas of life, and in our day to day activities.
Me: How's computer programming in the universe now
Clara: Programming today is a race, between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof program and the universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far the universe is winning.
Me: Does it mean that engineers dosen't want the universe to understand their programs?
Clara: Not at all, don't get it wrong. Like software engineers today are trying to bring out more programs. And the world is producing people who know programming very well.
Me: what's your last statement to the reader?
Clara: Being a computer analyst makes me assume I can't be wrong, I now see beyond the ordinary.
I can even make ur brain outrun your mind.(laughs)
Me: Woo! Hope not me,, sounds heavy.
Thanks for your time Lady C. and success in your program world.
