No, but we do think about efficient computational solutions to our problems. These sorting algorithms are simply starting points for you to start thinking how algorithms solve problems, how to optimize them, how to construct data structures, and how to apply asymptotic analysis on your computational solutions. If all goes well with these algo courses, you should end up thinking like a computer scientist ;)
