Recent days many times i have faced the following question :
what u do as research in computer science ?
People who asks this question has the opinion that there is no scope for research is there in Computer science. For the general pyublic computer science means software engineer who earns some big money.
I would say that software engineering is only one part of computer science. Computer science is a huge arena.
Lots of things are there which are still unexplored.
I would like to give a simple example:
If we have simulate some parts of brain (read it again that it's not whole brain but only a part) it is still out of reach of we the homosapiens.
Forget about all the technical hurdles. First consider the power requirements. As per our knowledge brain requires approx about 10 watts of power but if we try to build a machine which would simulate this, it has been estimated that it would require 1 Giga Watts of electricity.
So plenty of things are there which are still out of reach of mankind
