Data Science to Wisdom Science

 The hottest technology course for undergraduate studies during the 80s was Computer Engineering,
then it was Computer Science in the 90's,
then it was Information Science in the 2000's, especially MIS was the hottest thing post Y2K (1st Jan 2000) and everyone was designing systems to create dashboards and reports for Executives,


In 2010, we all heard about the biggest trend as Big Data Analytics, Cloud Computing and Social data including Natural Language processing as the hottest trends,.

In 2020 we will see that the hottest graduation degree will be Data Science.... We are seeing everyone is looking for Insights from Data and hence called as Data Science . Some of the latest areas in Data Science is how to reduce (discard unnecessary) data for computing and how to get Fast (real-time) data for every one..


So Computer Science and Engineering had 20 years of life time, Information Science and Technology had 20 years of life time and next 10 years it would be Data Science and Engineering.

Following the above trend, what would be the hottest graduation course in 2040? Would it be below Data or above Knowledge?

My take: I dont think they would go below Data layer, I think experts would soon call it as WISDOM SCIENCE 😄 ?
