From COBOL to Life
I had a professor in a COBOL programming class who often said that everything in computing is "from and to, from and to".
You take one bit of information from here and move it to there. That's all that ever really happens inside a computer. You might not understand how that works, but it's true.
That professor was more of a philosopher than he maybe knew.
Everything in life is from and to, from and to.
I move my fingers from here to there to type these letters and words and sentences and paragraphs and articles from left to right, from top to bottom.
I move from the living room to the kitchen to move food from the refrigerator to my plate. Then I move it from my plate to my mouth.
There's all kinds of from and to going on inside me.
I moved from the past to the present. Now I'm moving from the present to the future.
Eventually, I'll move from earth to heaven. I hope you do too.
