How can we use computational thinking to solve business problems

We face many different problems in life. Sometimes at once at home, at the workplace, family issue etc.

Imagine below scenario happens at the same time:

Your pump got broken.

Your boss is ignoring you.

Your co-worker seems not collaboative.

Your kids got sick.

How will you tackle them at the same time (if they appear all at once)?

Instead of ignoring them (pretending them not happened), let’s take the pain, face them head on, and try to “think about them”, “digest them” and “solve them” using “computational thinking mindset”

“Everybody in this country should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think”

“Everybody in this country should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you how to think”

— Steve Jobs

When you watched the Steve job interview, he said something like “learning programming might not have to do with something practical, but it teaches you how to think”

The keyword is “Think”

He also said that Programming is like a “mirror” of your thought process.

So when you are able to tackle a complex computer programming problems, it is like strengthing your “thinking metal muscule”.
