the role of engineers and engineering in development taking a historical perspective and dividing time up into different eras based on dominant themes. The last section covers the time period “2000-present” and is described on p. 40 as taking place as three trends converge. One is an education trend; one is an employment trend; and one is a media/visibility trend.
• Identify three trends that you think will affect how/what/why computer scientists work in the world in the 2020-2040 period. Your trends do not have to fall into the education, employment, and/or media space though you may want to consider whether one or more of these (suitably updated) is interesting to include.
• Give two current examples of ways that pairs of these trends are coming together to have meaning or lead to different behavior.
