I can see only one title that will capture the dignity and honor of our scientific discipline. In honor of Alan Turing, one of the greatest luminaries of our discipline, I propose that the field of study now known as "Computer Science" be forever known as "Turism." Computer Scientists would be known, of course, as "Turists."
We could call ourselves New Men, but this might be seen as discriminatory against our female colleagues.
I think this will put a stop to the confusion whenever I explain my field of study.
Proud Turist.
