It is probably not official but the graduated Computer science formation can be considered as dead. Universities are still trying to do some cash but....In fact we should say that computer science technologies are so integrated into other professional domain , that they no longer deserve the ownership of any new idea good in IT development. Only exception I would say is if someone  have the patience to go through the post graduated formation. But even in this case... I was reviewing some job post by curiosity as well to see the tendencies in the requirement. It appeared to me that all the industrial programming in hardware domain (embedded programming , telecommunication , driver development) are now exclusively handled by engineer. Programming a lamp On/Off or a RS232 interface for a schneider device , etc. Using or developing some highly specialized like 3d hardware design tool , scientific programming environment (MATLAB) are so far in better hand of researcher and engineer.  Some weeks ago I was listening to a discussion in family where someone was suggesting the computer science domain to its very young boy. Now from what I see , a guy that have graduated in computer science, after going  through its assembly language programming course (low-level programming) , telecommunication , security , may be TCP/IP , socket handling course, Operating system architecture course (and maybe an advanced one  why not) ...well this guy will have to give up all obvious employment opportunities that its formation  (the list of course I have enumerated last ) should usually allow him to go in favor of another specialist. Even game development , just think about what it needs as physics ,  mechanic , and always more accurate graphics engine to simulate natural phenomenon ,collision , physics of material, lightning all this sorry are far from the reach of this little boy willing to program game by going for the traditional computer science formation. In this last domain the challenge was interesting in the old time, memory contrainst , low-level programming , assembly language tweaking, etc. Today all this sound like a joke with always  more powerful cpu , less memory constraints, more intelligent software that relegate your impact to simply decide by example if you will use stl map or hashset to organize a data set without worrying with the "how it works". But heyyy keep on , good news ...there are still traditional geek and  enthusiast domain  that omnitechie.com will continue to explore just for you....i hope...
