The reverse statement would probably be something like "The core pursuit of computer science is how to best design and harness computers". Which is a reasonably accurate description of many areas within CS including machine learning, distributed systems, programming languages, and computer architecture.

- buffet_overflow 5y ago>The core pursuit of computer science is how to best design and harness computers" This is why I've been quite happy with the Information Science major. I joke that it's "watered down compsi", as it avoids higher level topics like OS design and anything beyond the introductory Data Structures. Instead, the major uses that time to introduce psychology, sociology, and user experience/interface design. As a professional, I've found that focus on "how we interact and best use technology" to be useful.
