Computer Science and Ballroom Dancing
9 08 2009What do computer science and ballroom dancing have to do with each other? Nothing!
My point is that I think computer science and information technology in particular can be used to enhance or add value to any other industry, career, or education. A dancing robot you say? Maybe not a robot, but there are certainly aspects of IT that can play a role in the dance industry, from choreography and video editing to the more mundane tasks as running a dance studio.
Individuals with a unique background in a field other than IT can bring tremendous value to both the technology industry in general and to those industries in particular.
I deal a lot with health care, and some of the best medical software companies are run by physicians that also understand IT; not by “techies” that also happen to understand the medical profession.
Is ballroom dancing and computer science such a bad combination? Have your say below.
I like ballroom dancing. This is a breather in my monotonous lifestyle. And best of all, it allows me to get dressed. Btw, condolences to Dirty Dancing Patrick Swayze’s family. Thanks to computer science for bringing in technology to dancing and learning it.
