I like the term "Informatics" pretty much describes what is the main topic in CS - so just being an Information Engineer/Artist is fine with me.



In other countries anyone that does anything computer related is an informaticien. I don't like it because it's used as a catchall for an entire industry (tech support all the way up to engineer). And, atleast in the US, informatics implies information science. A degree you get when you want to be a research librarian.
