Speaking of Excel, any of you ever discover the flight simulator easter egg that was embedded in… I think it was Excel '97? Press the right keys, and suddenly you are flying over vector-rendered terrain, controllable via cursor keys. It was pretty cool.

Computers and computer programming aren’t that difficult to understand. The computer sequentially follows instructions to a tee. Software people write the instructions. Computer science, software development, and software engineering employ variously systematic approaches to writing correct, bug free, and hopefully long lived and usable software.
What I wish we could explain better is the emergent phenomena created by a billion+ people using social media to do repetitive and simple tasks like clicking a Like button or re-tweeting a hashtag.
