| Subject: What is Computer Science... revisited
| 
| This article reminded me of a previous discussion we had:
| 
| The death of computing (http://www.bcs.org/server.php?show=ConWebDoc.9662)
|  Synopsis: "Neil McBride says computer science was populated by
| mathematicians and physicists but now virtual robots can be created by
| eight-year olds without needing programming, logic or discrete mathematics
| skills. Does that mean we have a dying discipline?"
