Have you ever found something amazing online? An item in a game? A special picture? A meme?

All kinds of people can learn to use computers to solve problems and express themselves.

The world of computers keeps changing all the time. Many of the things we think are normal today were new and exciting a very short time ago. Likewise, new ideas and innovations come up all the time.

There are many things around us that are hidden computers. For example, new smartwatches connect to the Internet to get weather information. Many digital cameras allow you to share photos immediately over wifi. Even some fridges and cars are computers!

Algorithms are everywhere around us, sorting, searching, recommending and rating. Sometimes it’s hard to notice an algorithm at work.

Computers are pretty amazing. You can find almost anything online, or talk with a friend on the opposite side of the world, or make music, drawings, games and stories, or program an application. Can you think of anything else?

Computers are all around us. They help us in everyday tasks. Children use computers for entertainment, looking up information and staying in touch with one another. People in shops, factories, hospitals and schools use lots of different kinds of computers in lots of different ways.

Computing, coding, ICT-skills, e-skills.. Who cares when you can use a computer as a tool of self-expression and problem solving!

Computers are everywhere. You probably have over a hundred computers at home. No kidding! They are hidden in everything from cellphones to cars to coffee machines. Can you count how many computers you’ve seen today?
