When the image popped in my timeline, I was immediately reminded of Bob Lucky‘s May 1998 essay about Electrical Engineering:
“Electrical engineering will be in danger of shrinking into a neutron star of infinite weight and importance, but invisible to the known universe.”
Others fear that CS might not be far behind. And systems administration, even in its DevOps morph is not far behind too. So while the artist (anybody knows who the artist is?) drew that with engineering students in mind, the image reflects the situation for more.
Happy 2012 to you all.
