No, not at all, not here. Well, of course some are, and maybe the german connotation is different. But an intellectual may very well be anti-technological, but a computer scientist don't have to be intellectual. For example, the cliche(!) computer scientist doesn't read the high literature or makes philosophical statements about the state of society (i know that some do, but that's not necessarily the image the majority of society has).
