Is Computer Science a myth?

[text] Jeff Erickson CS professor University of lllinois Urbana Champaign Updated Apr 5 Is computer science a longrunning myth Yes absolutely. Neither nor any of my thousands of colleagues nor any of the millions of our current and former students nor any of the intellectual tools that underlie computing which in turn underlies almost all of modern economics and society actually exist. Its all a myth. In actual fact we all still live in caves. Youre not really reading these words on a computer screen its just the flickering firelight and you had a few too many of those pretty looking mushrooms. Dont worry itll pass soon.
