Nowadays the trend is toward computer science (CS) and it looks like IT (information technology) has fallen out of vogue. But is IT actually more critical than CS? I think so.
Why IT?
IT is all about:
What should be the optimal settings and setup for a computer user?
Also applies to phones, tablets, and now ”smart devices” for your home. IT as philosophy and ethos for optimal usability.
You don’t need to go to school for IT
You can teach it all to yourself. No schooling or huge technical skills required.
