About
My name is Julian Jaffe, I am a CIS major and I love thinking about the future of computers within society, as well as the influence of science and technology on people as a whole. I grew up playing/m... odifying my favorite computer games and discovering my passion for learning through DIY projects I did with my friends and teachers.
I am currently finishing my degree currently at Beacon College. I have attended a small handful of colleges over the past few years in an effort to find a setting/learning environment that works for my particular goals and needs.
I originally started out studying the natural sciences at Marlboro College, with a particular interest in Aerospace and Astronomy. During my first few years as a college student and after some real exposure to the comp sci world, I realized how interesting and impactful the fruits of the information age really are. It seemed that every scientific industry and branch of emerging technology I had been interested in all my life was being shaken up by advances in computing. I then decided to change majors for good after my first school closed down due to financial troubles.
Having been exposed to multiple learning styles throughout my time as a student, I realize that not everyone tends to learn one subject the exact same way as another.
Anyone from all walks of life can learn anything at all with the right interest and motivation!read more
