To be honest. I think it's a misconception that CS is about algorithms. The science should be modeling the relationships between the environment, the desired functionality and the resulting trade-offs. There's actually a lot of this to go around, but it's not recognized enough. The electrical engineering establishment, which is more concerned with buildings specific systems and algorithms, is far more influential. We're currently craftsmen. We have very little knowledge about building systems, except our experience and some arcane beliefs. It's time to start digging ourselves out of the stone age.
