Slides of a talk delivered to primary school children on how programming helps people in their work and their daily lives. The 15 minute talk explains why computers are better at certain tasks but lack intelligence. Hence humans have to describe tasks that need done as lists of instructions that computers can perform repetitively without getting tired or bored. The talk ends with a personal introduction on how I got into programming and how it has enriched my life personally and professionally.
