Comments
I do see a lot of programming jobs getting obsolete, but programming is not Computer Science. Programming is a tool. If we ever render computer scientists obsolete then we might as well render physicists, mathematicians and other researchers obsolete.
I believe as the world become more digital the necessity to understand Computer Science will grow :)
