> Imagine if university science departments switched to 1940s curriculum just for fun.

My university physics curriculum was pretty much all around in the 1940s (classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electromagnetism, special and general relativity, etc.)

I'm currently in a computer science department where the curriculum includes a bunch of stuff like Cassandra, Mongo, Javascript, Unity, etc.

I think it would be good for those of us in computing to take more notice of our field's past (even by the 1940s we had lambda calculus, combinatory logic, etc.)
