Resumen
Since its beginnings in the late 1930s, computer science has been a unique combination of math, engineering, and science. Many see computer people as engineers implementing principles they did not discover rather than equal partners in the search for new principles. So it matters whether computer science qualifies as a full-fledged science. The shift from computer as object of study to computer as tool is enabling them to revisit the deep questions of their field in the new light of computation as a lens through which to see the world.
