Well, computer science is not the science of computers, is it? It's about using computers (in the sense of programming them), not about making computers. Making computers is electrical engineering.

We all know how great we IT people are at naming things ;)

Informatics is a much better name imo

I see there's a fellow German speaker ;)

I do agree though!

If you want someone to know about the physical properties of transistors, find an electrical engineer.

Ok, but he didn't know what a transistor is. Like I get not knowing the mechanics or chemistry of it, but to literally not know it or how it applies to a computer boggles my mind.
