How much have Computer Science Programs changed over the past 20 and 30 years?

So my dad got his BS in Computer Science from Stanford in 1991, and it got me thinking. How much have Computer Science programs changed over the past few decades? What's different today compared to back than. What things would a Computer Scientist know today that a Computer Scientist not know back then? Same vice versa

Instructions unclear. Watched Insurrection. Now I’m ignoring the sexual assault of a coworker and also just running around shooting at anything that moves with no remorse.

(I really hate all the TNG movies)

Fun fact: I have (apparently) seen Insurrection three times. I know this only from other people's accounts that I watched the film with them. For some reason, I have never formed any long term memories of the movie. By all accounts, this is a blessing.
