What does Computing mean to me

I don’t think computing on its own is a significant concept to me. It is such a huge part of my life, between this class, my computer science minor, and my physics research, that i basically don’t see it anymore, just specific applications of it. I used so see it as something amazing and wonderful, that was a very pleasant break from my other classes, like languages. Now though, I see that its inherent logic is convoluted by people in any of the projects that are sufficiently complicated to be worth something, and so while simple coding and computing has some inherent beauty for me, most is so hacky and misleading that I see it mostly as a powerful tool. It is necessary for a great many things, but it is only a necessary feature, it does not increase the value of whatever it is involved in inherently.
