This dimension groups fields of computing by the era in which they emerged as a distinct area of study. Wikipedia notes that computer science spans "theoretical disciplines" through to "applied disciplines," fields that have opened up at very different points in the history of computing. Browsing by origin era lets a visitor compare fields that emerged in the same period.
