It’s hard to make a media program with wide appeal about computer science because it’s abstract and behind the scenes. No one wants the Carl Sagan of plumbing. With physics you can actually show the object being discussed, which matches better to TV format. It also answers big questions like where the universe came from and what will happen to it. These are questions people with any level of intelligence or familiarity of the field are interested in. I think people are more interested in the applications of computer science, such as what’s happening on Twitter or Facebook, than the science itself. The hard part is, how can you relate computer science to something that the general population cares about? |
