A 1923 aerospace engineering degree probably is less useful than a 1990 Computer Science degree because more time has elapsed, but I imagine that both would confer useful skills and fundamental knowledge still relevant today. The notion that computers are so fast moving that everything from more than 5 minutes ago is completely irrelevant is only true if you're working with technology at a very shallow level (e.g. "the buttons moved and I had to relearn everything!")
