The field of computer science has been rapidly developing since its recognition as a stand-alone discipline. The dynamics of the field led to its inadequate public image and posed challenges regarding how to make computer science studies more appealing to students. Recently, computer science has been recognized as a language of natural sciences, and its synergy with these sciences became noteworthy. This paper illuminates another facet of computer science. We call for the acknowledgement of computer science as a scientific paradigm, which is a language of technology. The language describes structures, processes, relationships, and communications. We believe that this view expands the responsibility of computer science in the contemporary world and legitimates its status as a basic language that is essential for acquiring scientific and technological literacy.
