I never taught "computer science".
I am a supply chain architect, which is more of a business person than an engineer really, but still an engineer. To give you an idea, most manufacturing apps, prior to "my generation" of apps which revolutionized the industry- were still written in COBOL. This was up until about 1990. Its a different world.

But, as your post illustrates, there was and continues to be a huge chasm between what technical accomplishments exist for technical accomplishment's SAKE (iow completely useless crap, much of which you seem to be keenly aware of) vs. technical accomplishments that can actually be used to propel your economy forward.
