Many people could enjoy lots of different things and if they enjoy two equally I donБЂ™t want to say that they have to do computer science. But I think there is a mismatch. We need more good people and I think that they can have a big impact on the world and if thatБЂ™s what they want to accomplish, rationally we should be allocating more of the top people into computer science than we are now.
