I think it is the main part of computer science in today’s digital world:-
- Computer Networks and Distributed Systems
- Computer Graphics and Visualization
- Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
- Human-Computer Interaction and User Experience Design
- Programming Languages and Paradigms
- Cybersecurity
- Software Engineering and Development Methodologies

I asked chatGPT “If someone wants to become an expert in the digital world, what core topic he needs to know?” It’s ans me something like this:-
“As an AI language model, I can provide you with a list of core topics that one needs to know to become an expert in the digital world:
1. Digital Marketing: This includes SEO, PPC, social media marketing, email marketing, content marketing, and other online marketing strategies.
2. Web Development: This includes HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other programming languages used for building websites and web applications.
3. Data Analytics: This includes understanding data, analyzing it, and using it to make informed decisions.
4. Cybersecurity: This includes protecting digital assets from cyber threats and attacks.
5. UX/UI Design: This includes designing user interfaces and user experiences for websites and mobile applications.
6. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: This includes understanding how AI and ML work, their applications, and their impact on the digital world.
7. Cloud Computing: This includes understanding cloud computing platforms, such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and their applications.
8. Mobile App Development: This includes understanding mobile app development frameworks and programming languages, such as Swift and Java.
9. E-commerce: This includes understanding how online businesses operate, including payment gateways, shopping carts, and online marketplaces.
10. Digital Transformation: This includes understanding how businesses can transform their operations to take advantage of digital technologies.”
This answer is the simplest and best answer to my question. I think chatGPT is humbler than most people in terms of giving information and learning opinions. Because it doesn’t have any egoist problem or pride-taking tendency like us humans.
But It’s not the main thing I am trying to explain here, I am trying to point out that topics are somehow merging with 2 or 3 core serious topics of those 7 main branches of computer science I have mentioned before.
If we just focus on learning a single branch of the Digital world like Digital marketing or web development without knowing the core science of it our knowledge and skill will lose their value or be replaced by another innovation like AI. By knowing the core element of computer science one person can move from one branch to another with their evolving needs. Without beginning to be confused or distracted by noises which are generated by the innovation and ideas of others and can create or do something valuable of their own.
