蔡芸琤 Yun-Cheng (Pecu) Tsai. Faculty. Department of Technology Application and Human Resource Development, National Taiwan Normal University

Hi, I’m Pecu. Nice to meet you. Do you remember the most exciting thing you never forget your first time doing? I will never forget my first computer use when I was five. The computer became my slave. I found I can control the computer song the sung. I use the BASIC programming language to code the sheet music. When I gave the instructions to the computer in the command line, the computer responded to me with the corresponding results. The interactions surprised me and inspired me to continue talking with the computer and let it help me do many routine things. Through the long-term accompany, I become a coder. My daily life is not without the computer. The computer promotes my life quality and improves me to realize many ideas. This is identical to what Steve Jobs said: “Idea is nothing without execution.” The computer is my perfect tool for exploring the world and guiding me to learn different knowledge. I love to be self-taught, and my lovest include History and Philosophy. This helps me analyze different cultures and lets me travel to foreign countries to see more profound and unique thinking. The computer influences my life. I never chase the title, degree, and items. I believe every honor is a side-effect of my passionate doing track. Although I have a computer science Ph.D. degree and am a professor at University, my favorite title is an intelligent life practicer with my computer.
