Computer Science becomes MORE interesting as computers become more capable, not less. There are so many things we could be working on, but we still waste so much time on boring libraries, configuration, implementation details that we simply don't get to experiment enough.

Just like nobody programs on punch cards anymore, learning details of a specific technology without deeper understanding will become obsolete. But general knowledge about computer science will become more valuable.
