Assistant: OK, let’s try. I’ll read the text out loud to you and you just let me know if you agree or disagree.

Assistant: Computer science covers many different subjects. It’s concerned with software and hardware systems. It covers the theory of computers and programming languages. It’s concerned with algorithms, which are recipes for how computers should do a task. It’s concerned with artificial intelligence, which is a simulation of how the human mind works. It’s concerned with how we can use computers to help human beings, and the ways computers can help each other. It’s concerned with computer graphics, which is the use of computers to create images, videos and 3D objects. It’s concerned with understanding the way computers think, and the way they can make computers think. It’s concerned with the applications of computer science, which is how computers are used in your everyday life.

Human: Excellent, you really listed a lot. What about security?

Assistant: Ok, security is a major area of computer science. There are many issues to consider when designing secure systems, including cryptography, penetration testing, and the structure of programs and networks.

Human: In very simple terms, how would I tell a child what computer architecture is since I know that falls under computer science

Assistant: 
Computer architecture is about how computers are made. It includes design decisions such as how a system will run and the basic components of that system. 
A computer architecture is a model or description of how the parts of a computer system are connected and how they interact with each other. Computer architectures are important because the components in a computer system need to work together to provide useful functionality.
