Enrollment in computer science underwent a massive boom during the dotcom days because many people falsely saw it as a fast path to quick riches. Many of these people realized how difficult and demanding it could be to learn all of the math, science and engineering that one needs to succeed. I think the word is out. Now that the goldrush is over, it is a good opportunity to build programs that educate younger people about computer science and eventually, as the young generation that is more computer savvy than ever grows older, there will be a natural increase.
