Computer Science isn't dead, it isn't even sick. It is growing and expanding and finding new areas to invade. With Gates and others trying to put more and more computer technology in everything from phones to pets, from TV to your coffee machine, and probably soon to be in your food and drink, the trend to automate will continue. The field will expand. 

News?  Over 30 years back we were told that computer programming would soon be solved and there would be no need for programmers. The promise and the silver bullet is not here yet and are not in development. We have not been put out of business yet and no one will do it soon.

Let me reduce this to a little pseudocode:

Ai = Pi + N + Sky;

string silverBullet = "";

selfDevelopingProgram stupidIdea = new Wild.eyed.dream();

self.Maintaining.System.Code bogus = old wishful.thinking.gone.to(seed);

Have a great day. This is kind of fun.
