why computer programming is important?
why we need?
-
so we can do homework.

It gives super-nerds something better to do then watch re-runs of star trek or watch the star-wars movies once again or fight in the holy war between star trek and star wars fans in some sort of futile attempt to prove which is better.
I mean seriously...
The alternative is solitaire. and the one built into windows only has 32768 different deck shuffles. Oh the humanity.

Or heck just make a Star Trek game using programming ;)

Yeah, or some sort of RPG game where you play as a fan and battle fans from the other fandom.

Computers perform repetitive tasks much better than humans: mathematical calculations can be done much faster. Consider, for example, computing prime numbers.

and it always gives you an excuse to curse at everyone
-
You can rub it in other people's faces that you can do something they can't!
You could also become a power-hungry & tyrannical overlord.

That's easy! 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 51, etc..... ;D

ahh, OK. what about the fourteenth palidromic prime number? No cheating! :P
-
383. Oh, and 1 isn't a prime number. ;D
I had to look up the definition of palindromic. :D

Palindromic word, GO!

I, man, am regal -- a German am I
Never odd or even
If I had a hi-fi
Madam, I'm Adam
Too hot to hoot
No lemons, no melon
Too bad I hid a boot
Lisa Bonet ate no basil
Warsaw was raw
Was it a car or a cat I saw?
Rise to vote, sir
Do geese see God?
Do nine men interpret Nine men I nod
Rats live on no evil star
Won't lovers revolt now?
Race fast, safe car
Pa's a sap
Ma is as selfless as I am
May a moody baby doom a yam?
Ah Satan sees Natasha
No devil lived on
Lonely Tylenol
Not a banana baton
No x in Nixon
O, stone, be not so
O Geronimo, no minor ego
Naomi I moan
A Toyota's a Toyota
A dog, a panic in a pagoda
Oh, no! Don Ho!
Nurse, I spy gypsies -- run!
Senile felines
Now I see bees I won
UFO tofu
We panic in a pew
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!
Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog

1 word.

There is only one town in Ireland that has a palindromic name.
-
But still the best computer no matter what, is the one between your ears ;D
-
so we can improve our abilities
-
Without programming there would be no Operating Systems.

A serious answer here..
Every electronic/digital device is operating on an some variation of a program. Whether is be a simple light bulb or a sophisticated computer chip.
So what is a program? A program is a sequential series of events that produce a specific result or output desired.
Since the invention of the electric switch technology, we are able to turn lights on/off. When silicon technology was discovered, we were able to invent chips that emulate the simple light switch. A Off/On state.
As with the simple light switch, "Off or On" chip allow us to turn on or off on a much smaller scale. we control these chips with a program that communicates on a binary or basic level to what is now called a processor. The processor, the heart of every computing device recieves this structured programing and using very special codes designed for that particular processor, tells the rest of the world what the human programmer wants to do. It sends out either an on signal or an off signal for other devices to act upon.
SOOOOOOoooo,
With out a program or programming everything you now use with out thinking would stop...
At this point we would go back to lighting a fire stick for light, cooling our meat in the creek, and yelling across the meadow for samantha to come over.. OH and using diferent size rocks for money..
Hope this helped..
