RQ & DQ #1 p.134

RQ: 1.) An algorithm is a system independent idea; a program is a concrete implementation of that idea for a given computer system.

DQ: 1.) Because you have to program the computer, and you need to know math and logic and syntax. That's why it's easier to use child labor to get work done than a computer.

Computers are totally logical; people can interpret different clues to help figure out instructions. Computers can't work a step and think. They just follow whatever is programmed.
