This book has a single purpose: to help everyone become computational thinkers. Computational thinking (CT) is thinking informed by the digital age, and a computational thinker is someone who can apply that thinking everywhere and anywhere. Through practical examples and easy-to-grasp terminology, this book is a guide to navigating the digital world and improving one’s efficiency, productivity, and success immediately. Given its pervasiveness, knowledge and experience of computation is a cornerstone of productivity, and improved thinking will lead to advances in every aspect of one’s life. In this way, CT can be thought of as the mutual reinforcement of thinking and knowledge of computation in the digital age. Comprising a rich collection of self-contained articles that can be read separately, and illustrated by pictures, images and article-end crossword puzzles, this book is an engaging and accessible route to ‘Becoming a Computational Thinker’ and achieving ‘Success in the Digital Age’. Computers brought us the digital revolution. People in the digital age have such wonderful things as laptops, smartphones, satellite navigation, drones, the Internet, the web, social media, streaming video, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and more. We are experiencing the fourth industrial revolution brought by significant applications of digital technologies and ever-increasing automation in all parts of our economy.
