I started at the University of Copenhagen in 1969. My professor was Peter Naur, who is best known for things like:
Co-author with Edsger Dijkstra et al. on the Algol-60 programming language
The “N” in BNF, the Backus-Naur-Form used in a lot of language definitions
He did not want to be called a “computer scientist,” he preferred “Datalogy” instead of “Computer Science” – the reason being that the two domains (computers and human knowing) are very different and his israel whatsapp number data interest was in data, which is created and described by us as humans
In his book “Computing: A Human Activity” (1992), a collection of his contributions to computer science, he rejected the school of programming that views programming as a branch of mathematics
Computer Pioneer Award of the IEEE Computer Society (1986)
2005 Turing Award winner, the title of his award lecture was “Computing Versus Human Thinking”
(See more background here.)
In reality, we have three competing terms:
Computer science
“Information science” classically means the kind of information handling that librarians and archivists do.
“Informatics” is used instead of computer science in large parts of Europe and other countries. In the U.S. et al., informatics is frequently used as dealing with information in healthcare.
And then there is “computer science.” Academically, today, it is very mathematical and abstract, founded on logic and functions. However, it is frequently described as a set of skills, which are used in handling data. But the direct semantics, “how to construct computers,” is not in scope anymore; I would expect engineers and physicists to take care of that.
