Why is it that in today's world Computer Science in college or university seems to be the drain for socially awkward, ugly, or just plain crazy people?
The computer scientists of the early days look like charismatic supermodels (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKfKtXYLG78) compared to the crapule I sometimes see in my CS classes. In the west the enrollment of people in Computer Science has been decreasing since the 90's. Enrollment of women in computer science has been decreasing even worse.(http://www.cssu-bg.org/WomenInCS/Pictures/widening_gap.gif) and I think it's all related.
