What is the Future of Computer Science?

I should have read the second page before posting. Oh well. Couldn't hurt.

What are you talking about? You don't need to go to college just to learn a programming language. You go to get a good education in math, science, ee, etc... there is much more to a cs degree than programming. Learning a language isn't that much of a challenge after you rigorously learn something like c or c++ in college. I think that in general, people in this thread are confusing programmer with the numerous other jobs one can get with a degree in computer science.

Thank you

Yes, CS includes more than just programming. GE requirements, Math (lots of it!), and the science of computers...etc...

就如你们所说，计算机科学并不仅仅是编程；
这门科学的基础与未来都是“逻辑”；
微小到任何小的宇宙并涵盖世间万物...

Computer Science is about a lot more than programming.

• Security
• Ubiquitous Computing
  
• Search
  

  The challenge of our time today, in Computer Science at least, is our world’s data, the world’s bytes. The ratio of the world’s data that is available by online search, compared to all of the world’s data, will be one. The deep web, the hidden web, the data that is stored behind forms, that has not been crawled by search engines, will soon be searchable.

• Artificial Intelligence and Biological Integration
  

  Cars can drive themselves for hundreds of miles without any human interaction – but there are still tens of thousands of fatal car accidents occurring every year. People spend 1 to 2 hours of their day in traffic – traffic? The nation’s highways are crowded by three times as much traffic as were the predictions for our time. How can we increase the quality of people’s lives by increasing the efficiency of our transport systems? How can we do this using A.I.?

  Our time is a time of biology – the discipline that had the greatest impact in the last 50 years was computer science, but in the next 50 years it will be biology – and that is precisely because of computer science. Computer readable data is coming through in an ever-increasing amount; from astronomy, biology, neuroscience – in amounts far exceeding the human ability to comprehend and read. Computer science helps by taking this data, storing it, analyzing it, and constructing simulations that can help up interpret the data as knowledge.
