"Computer Science"
So people think of programming instead?
Computer science involves all sciences of computing. It has materials science, logics, maths galore, just to do basic circuitry and chip design. It spirals on and on and on to get a real computer.
The point is it is a culmination of MANY different disciplines, and the people who think it's only "this" or "that" are demonstrating their great lack of knowledge on the subject.
It is a generic term because it takes MANY different things to complete the picture. Pidgeonholing things when you do not even understand them is only an excercise of ignorant stereotyping.
That’s too broad, there’s a reason there is already computer science, science itself, science of chemistry/physics/biology/space etc.
Language is fluid, not accepting change just shows how ignorant you are of the broader aspects of the world.
