There is a human element necessary to design technologies that make the world better. It is more than acceptable to be a geek, but in my opinion, one must have the personality to interact with people. When a person asks me for help, I'm not going to just do it all myself and tell them their problem is fixed, I want them to be self-sufficient. For this reason, I need to know how to explain the functions of computation without scaring them off using technical verbiage. Outside of school, family members and friends ask for my assistance, and usually I can manage to teach them something
