Students -- correctly -- perceive a growing opportunity in computer science related fields but outside biology, there is a decrease in interest in "technical sciences" such as physics, aerospace engineering etc.

|
In particular physics departments may disappear in many Universities as the number of majors is dropping at both undergraduate and graduate level.

Classical Computational Science is not the answer but we suggest that a generalization -- Internetics at the interface between applications and "web/commodity" technologies offers interesting attractive academic programs combining computing and the "technical sciences"

It is not enough to justify physics (as studying Latin and Greek was motivated to me) as "training the mind"
