I hate the term “computer science”. It not only conceals the true nature of the field (one that is deductive and mathematical rather than inductive and empirical) but it has been excessively conflated with programming and IT literacy. Forget computer science or programming; IT literacy itself is manifold in nature. We need to analyze the goals of computer and IT literacy before we even begin teaching it. |

Along comes IT who takes whatever hardware & software they can get possessing varying degrees of scientific advancement, and tries to network everybody to their wildest dreams without losing any data.
I would say computer science is the art of using computers to make advancements whether or not the advancements are made to the very computers or software themselves or not.
Lots of worthwhile computer science can actually be accomplished without writing any software or doing any engineering.
Anyway, this is the 21st century, every student was expected to be much more familiar with both computer science and coding by now, so that the aggregate benefits overall would be far more widespread than in just a few "tech" centers.
Every more-computer-literate high school graduate could not have been expected to be an expert, but every org of a certain size would ideally have enough in-house talent to at least take care of their own software needs by now.
