The Internet is undoubtedly a major facet of our every day lives. With massive amounts of data being generated daily by activities con-ducted using the Internet, we are confronted with challenges regarding the storage, anal-ysis, presentation, and security of these data. I chose to study Computer Science at FST to equip myself with the skills I would need to be able to effectively tackle these sorts of prob-lems to contribute to the wider society.
