The Age: Is computer science dead? Because things are more automated, and most tasks only require drag and click? It is like arguing mechanical engineering is dead because wheels have been invented — by no means! As mechanical engineering does not train you to just produce machines, computer science does not (and should not) train you to just be a code monkey. Unfortunately that is what many people had in mind when they enrolled into Comp Science/Engineering courses at uni — whether it will teach me how to use Java, .NET, Oracle and Cisco. End result? Career in computer programming sucks.

lol…That was an excellent response. He almost convinced me to quit Computer Science and software development because too some extent he is right. Computer science is not meant to teach you only computer programming.
