Interest in CS

Computing Research News has an analysis of survey results from the Highter Education Research Institute at UCLA showing the drop of Computer Science majors.

One thing that is interesting is that this isn’t the first time interest has dropped. It looks like there was a spike of interest in the early 80s that then dropped off to then start spiking again in late 90s.
