I do not myself have a Computer Science degree, though I have on my.own initiative, driven by curiosity, studied everything that used to be in a BSCS curriculum.
I say "used to be" because many CS degrees have eliminated theory of computation, compiler design, and other supposedly esoteric parts of the traditional curriculum. CS departments are being driven to change the degree to "Computer Programming", while still calling it "Computer Science".

Just this evening I spoke to a friend who is a professor teaching EE and CS courses. I mentioned that I hoped that Mechanical Engineering wasn't doing the equivalent, which would be to turn into a "Using AutoCAD" degree. He reports that his colleagues in ME have complained about that very thing.

My friend likes it to.what he calls "Cash Register Syndrome". It used to be that a cashier had to be able to count back change. Now the register tells them to give the customer three one dollar bills, two quarters, a dime, a nickel, and two pennies, and shows an image of exactly that set. If the cash register is malfunctioning or loses power, a customer cannot purchase anything.

@Pjcoyle Not using the register doesn't mean unrecorded. Transaction records can still be kept, and entered later. It's not rocket science. I've purchased things in a big box store with registers down as recently as 20 years ago, though I doubt that any.would still do it now.
