Abstract :
Computing as a discipline can be traced to the 1960s, when universities such as Stanford and CMU established computer science as a stand-alone department. Since its inception, computing has been constantly evolving as a vibrant discipline. Here, I make 10 observations on its recent development, which can serve as references for computing stakeholders - including academic leaders, faculty members, administrators, staff, students and their parents, alumni, and potential employers - to rationally embrace the changes and opportunities ahead.
