Five Reasons Why I Love Cryptography
http://iheartsusanfreed.com
For years, I didn't know anything about cryptography. I'd heard the term, but I didn't know what it meant, or what the practice involved. Still, when I got the chance to study cryptography, I took it, and my life has been richer and more interesting as a result.
Cryptography is essentially the study of codes, and learning more about it can benefit your life in all kinds of ways. Below, you'll find five of the reasons I love cryptography. If you learn more about it, there's a good change you'll wind up loving cryptography as much as I do.
1. It makes life more interesting
Ever since I started studying cryptography, I've begun to see codes and hidden messages in everything. When I read a letter or look at a sign, I automatically start making connections with my mind.
There probably aren't any hidden messages in road signs, but that doesn't matter! Thinking about those things makes my life a lot more interesting, and a lot more fun.
2. It's made me smarter
Cryptography is a great way to train your mind and make it sharper than ever before. It helps to improve your concentration as well as your wit. Since I started studying cryptography, I get better scores on tests, and have an easier time studying for classes at school. It's really strengthened my mind.
3. It's given me a more well-rounded education
Because of my interest in cryptography, I've studied a number of other subjects. It's given me reason to improve my math and science skills, and to study all kinds of history. I'm more motivated to learn than ever before, and that's helped to educate me in some very interesting ways.
Cryptography has given me a better education than I ever would have had without it. I feel like I have little bits of knowledge in all kinds of subjects, and that's really exciting.
4. It's helped me meet some amazing people
Because of my passion for cryptography, I've made connections and met people from all over the world. Many of these people are just as passionate about cryptography as I am, and many of them are amazing.
The field of cryptography attracts some fascinating and brilliant people. I'm grateful to have met all of them, and I'm very glad that it was cryptography that managed to bring us together.
5. It's a ton of fun!
While all of the benefits above are nice, the real reason I love cryptography is that it's fun. No TV show or movie is as exciting as solving a mystery or cracking a puzzle on your own.
Cryptography isn't an expensive hobby, but it's definitely an entertaining one. Every day, I always have something interesting to do, and I owe that to cryptography.
I highly recommend that everyone learns more about cryptography. It's amazing for more than five reasons, and if you look into it, you'll probably love it too. Cryptography is an absolutely incredible hobby.
