 Computer
scientists impact society through their work in many areas.
Because computer technology is embedded in so many products,
services, and systems, computer scientists can be found in almost
every industry. Design of next generation computer systems,
computer networking, biomedical information systems, gaming systems,
search engines, web browsers, and computerized package distribution
systems are all examples of projects a computer scientist might work
on.
 Computer scientists might also focus on improving software
reliability, network security, information retrieval systems, or may
even work as a consultant to a financial services company.
