Agree. I remember someone advising me against getting a degree in computer science, back in 2000. Argument was -- look at MS Word. what else you want to add to this? It has more features than you need.

Not a fair argument against the point made above, however, I believe we will find the next big challenge for software to solve as soon as traditional problems are commoditized/automated and considered solved. Also, just knowing how to code is not going to be enough. You must complement it with domain expertise to solve challenging unsolved real world problems.
