This guy completely misses what computer science is about. Sure, nobody studies "Toaster Science" just like nobody will ever study "iPad Science". But plenty of people study mechanics, electrical engineering, thermodynamics and other fundamental academic fields that have enabled humans to design and mass-produce toasters.<p>At it's core, Computer Science is the mathematical study of computation and algorithms. Some of the most important results in CS were discovered before computers even existed (like the Church Turing Thesis). A new device with a slick form-factor and usable interface will not at all make CS obsolete.<p>If it could efficiently solve NP problems...THEN perhaps some computer scientists would out of work ;)
