An algorithm, drawn by a 29-year-old male digital expert in the building industry in Switzerland.

Can you draw for me how an algorithm works, on this side of the page? I am going to leave the recording on so if you want to, you can narrate what you are doing. That's a tough question... [longer pause] Please explain to me your drawing. Yes. An algorithm is... I mean I don't know what I tried to draw but its like you have certain datas, which can be anything, information or whatever and an algorithm is a process to generate more data. So, depending on what the purpose of the algorithm is, the data that you extract is also- best, I'd say. Okay. In what context did you hear about algorithms first, or how do you know about it? Well for me, algorithms were something more abstract, something programing, something like random language which no-one understands. But since I also started to program, then I realized it actually is just a bunch of definitions of rules. So you learnt it through studying at work? Yes. Okay. Thank you very much.
