> it seems to me that computer science, just over the relatively short time I've been paying attention, is becoming more-and-more abstract in a lot of ways.
But can we still call it computer science? It seems to me more like linguistics / mathematics / statistics, with the CS only to do the low-level computations and accounting of data.
Of course, if you build a global-scale efficient search engine with it, the role of CS may become bigger.
