Why Computer Science? Ed Lazowska Bill & Melinda Gates Chair in Computer Science & Engineering University of Washington August 2011

Forty years ago …

[Peter Lee, DARPA, and Pat Lincoln, SRI]

With forty years hindsight, which had the greatest impact? z Unless you’re big into Tang and Velcro (or sex and drugs), the answer is clear … z And so is the reason … EXPONENTIALS US

The past thirty years …

The most recent ten years … z Search z Scalability z Digital media z Mobility z eCommerce z The Cloud z Social networking and crowd-sourcing

In the next ten years, we’ll put the “smarts” in … z Smart homes z Smart cars z Smart bodies z Smart robots z Smart science (confronting the data tsunami) z Smart crowds and human- computer systems z Smart interaction (virtual and augmented reality)

z Computer science has a rich intellectual agenda z Advances in CS accelerate the pace of discovery in nearly all other fields z Advances in CS drive economic growth y Not just through the growth of the IT industry, but through productivity growth across the entire economy z Advances in CS touch everyone’s lives – they change the way we live, work, learn, and communicate z Advances in CS are inextricably linked to our ability to address our major national challenges z Advances in CS have major public policy implications y Ranging from e-voting and identity management to the nature and global spread of democracy Computer science is unique in its impact and importance

And there are jobs out the wazoo

Is this a great time, or what?!?!
