Document Summary
Human(s: we build these systems in order to make peoples lives easier, whether it be for pleasure or business, or both, sponsor (client) of the computer system. How can we help them succeed with their business: others (friends, collaborators, coworkers) Computer: hardware/device program runs on this. Without a computer, we cannot do software engineering and program design/creation and there would also be no purpose for it: clientele and servers. Computers need to be able to communicate with not only each other but the world wide web, so we need connections and for bigger projects, our own servers. Interaction: a user tells the computer what they want. The computer exists because we created it to aid us in our society. They are the shepherds crook, not the shepherd himself: the computer has its own interactions it has to do, with other computers! They have their own lives, and we need to respect that.
