Sophia was trying to connect a new device to her home’s WiFi when she noticed something unexpected: “NexusCool Fridge X17.” She laughed and wondered if connecting to the NexusCool Fridge X17 WiFi would let her download a cold meal. Setting the joke aside, she soon realized her neighbor had bought a smart refrigerator, a fridge with a built-in computer capable of connecting to the internet. It made her pause. Computers were no longer just laptops and phones. They were quietly infiltrating everyday objects, from kitchen appliances to doorbells. Sophia had seen strange stories online about smart devices behaving badly, but she had never really stopped to think about what these machines actually were.
She looked forward to learning more about computers during her upcoming summer internship.
