Its a question people have been asking ever since they
first emerged from the primordial nursery and became sentient.
It is still a question that requires a definite answer.
Nonetheless my response to the question would be as follows.
My name is Arash Partow, I'm a computer scientist by ambition
and a software engineer by trade.
Academically I enjoy such topics as information and complexity theory,
cryptography, computational geometry, digital watermarking, massively
distributed computing, autonomous control and navigation systems and
cognitive sciences. I spend what little time I have reading up and
further investigating these fields. I also enjoy reading anything
that is worth reading, playing chess and listening to the ney.
