Background
Joshua was born in 2054 to upper-middle class parents, Michael and Winona Jackson. Joshua did well at Morrish elementary school, and Henry Hudson middle school but really excelled when he moved to Woburn Collegiate Institute for high school. Woburn is a semestered, English-language public secondary school in the Scarborough district of Toronto. Students who have been rated highly by their teachers undergo an individual assessment with the school psychologist (IQ test, typically WISC 5). Based on the results of the individual assessment, those who scored in the top 2 percentiles are offered a place in a gifted class. When Joshua entered the Gifted program in computer science he found his future. He graduated high school in 2072. After considering several universities he settled on the University of Toronto.
The University of Toronto Department of Computer Science offers Specialist programs in Computer Science or Data Science, or a Major or Minor in Computer Science. A Specialist in Computer Science goes beyond the Major, providing a broad and deep foundation to computer science, and exposes you to a broad range of upper-year computer science topics. Students enrolled in the Major or Specialist can choose to complete a Focus in a particular area of computer science, such as: Artificial Intelligence, Human-Computer Interaction, or the Theory of Computation, among others. Joshua chose Theory of Computation.
After completing his bachelor's degree, Joshua moved seamlessly into graduate school. The Department of Computer Science offers a graduate program leading to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science. The programs consist of courses and research, conducted under the supervision of a faculty member. Faculty in the Department of Computer Science are interested in a wide range of subjects related to computing, including programming languages and methodology, software engineering, operating systems, compilers, distributed computation, networks, numerical analysis and scientific computing, financial computation, data structures, algorithm design and analysis, computational complexity, cryptography, combinatorics, graph theory, artificial intelligence, neural networks, knowledge representation, computational linguistics, computer vision, robotics, database systems, graphics, animation, interactive computing, and human-computer interaction. Joshua continued his focus in computational complexity and computational linguistics and dabbled in graph theory & network analysis. He met the love of his life in a PhD workshop on human-computer interaction. Janalyn Prows was in the previous year's cohort of doctoral students. She was attractive, had a wry sense of humor, and most important of all, she was significantly smarter than Joshua. After an engaging conversation over a cup of soykaf devoted to complete likelihood estimation of stochastic point processes Joshua was determined to augment his human-computer interaction with human-human interaction.
Towards the end of his degree program Joshua was faced with a choice. Jan had been offered a job as an assistant professor at the University of Washington.
