This is a fragment of an interview with Scientist and former comp1927 student Glen Kelley in which he talks about how they do things in the "real" sciences like biology and physics, and reflects on computing as a science. Recorded to help students think about their approach to task 1 in COMP1927 and shown in class in week 3 session 2 2009.
I would love to know where this young man will be in 10 years ... he has a good mind

Sure it made fixing it harder down the track..... but they captured the market first.
