JohnnyKimble writes "A provocatively titled article recently appeared in the 'Future of Computing' section of the British Computer Society website. 'The Death Of Computing' was written by a lecturer at De Montfort University in the UK, and considers the problem of falling interest in computer science courses in the UK and what needs to be done to encourage more students to take the courses." This ties in well with our discussion last night about Why Software is Hard. </img>

Making rash statements like that brings web traffic, whether they're true or not. It's the "Howard Stern" principal.

But this one is wrong. Think about supply and effect. If the UK feels computer programming is becoming less attractive as a long-term career path, you'll see less interest in classes, then less classes, then after a few years less supply of British programmers, and salaries will go up until people take more interest, and start filling classes again...
