Learn computer science and you'll know what's coming (Though not the exact form) over the next 30-40 years. Maybe even longer.

For those who were paying attention in language classes it's a game of waiting for industry to catch up. A long one at that.

Let's say you are a workaday programmer doing something like database-driven apps for enterprises. You used to build terminal-based apps. Then you moved to GUI apps. Now you are doing web-based apps. All of it covers a good 30 years of change. How would computer science have informed you about those changes?
