What is the relationship between psychology & computer science?

 Psychology is the study of human behaviour, relationships, how we think, and mental processes.

In computer science, you’ll almost build something to be used by people.

Without knowing how those people think, what they do in their daily life, what they love, what they hate,. You will almost end up building something that no one wants to use. It’s not relevant, not helpful, and doesn’t solve the issue.

An example

Most of the pain I face in my job as a Software Engineer when dealing with people outside the project. Because most of us lack the knowledge of how to understand those people, observe their daily work, and see what works for them and what doesn’t.

The problem is, the requirements we gather is not owned by them. They don’t have it, and also we don’t. It’s generated (not gathered). We both have to collaborate together to generate the requirement.

How many times the client asked you to do something that he really doesn’t want. He thinks it’s necessary and needed, but it’s not, and they will realize this fact later. People used to make false predictions about their future behaviour, especially when presented with new and unfamiliar things.

This cost you both will pay in terms of time, money, and effort.

That’s an example of how Psychology can save your life, not only as a Software Engineer, as a person in general.

 What Is A Video Game Video games are one of the most lucrative businesses. While there are more stories of failure than success, anyone who sees the vast sale numbers makes the best games year over year want to get in on this action. Every year brings millions of new video game sales, but the games on this list have had sustained life. They continue to see sales a long time after release. While a game’s sales are not nearly the only way to measure a title’s success, they can be a good barometer for seeing how popular a game is. With that in mind, here are the best-selling video games of all time. Note: many lists you look upon this subject will count all Tetris versions as one title, regardless of how different they are. We disagree with that thinking since many of the titles are different and made by various companies. This makes it, so two different versions of Tetris appear on this list. Also, free-to-play titles will not appear here since you do not purchase those titles, so ...

All computers have graphics hardware that handles everything from drawing your desktop and decoding videos to rendering demanding PC games. Most modern PCs have graphics processing units (GPUs) made by Intel, NVIDIA, or AMD. While your computer’s  CPU  and RAM are also important, the GPU is usually the most critical component when it comes to playing PC games. If you don’t have a powerful enough GPU, you can’t play newer PC games—or you may have to play them with lower graphical settings. Some computers have  low-power “onboard” or “integrated” graphics , while others have powerful “dedicated” or “discrete” graphics cards (sometimes called video cards.) Here’s how to see what graphics hardware is in your Windows PC. On Windows 10, you can check your GPU information and usage details right from the Task Manager. Right-click the taskbar and select “Task Manager” or press Windows+Esc to  open it . Click the “Performance” tab at the top of the window—if you don’t see the...
