You associate the images with Mars or Los Angeles, not the computer.
Not 'images', 'representations' (check your reading accuracy). And
they do have representations of Mars and streets and signal lights
and pedestrians; otherwise they could not successfully navigate.
And no human need interpret the representations.
I agree. Computer science can be defined by the study of digital
representations and the manners to handle them.
