INMO a proper CS education can help you undertand why the paradigm is shifting and adapt to it quickly. Most of the "new" ideas where discussed in the 50's and 60's, but the hardware was so poort they were impractical. E.G. the multi-core chip revolution could be shifting the paradigm from OO programing to Functional programming.
A good CS education can help you understand why that makes sense. You're probably not as prone to "digging in" and resisting the inevitable change.
