The author seems to concentrate on the link between computer science and software/development, but I do think that CS helps in a couple non-tech areas as well. The ones I can think off the top of my head are being able to break large problems down to their component processes, being able to foresee the effects manipulating those processes can have, and being able to effectively communicate with others (both technical and non-technical) about your work. Those characteristics and thought models aren't unique to CS, but play a key role in the science and engineering fields in general. A field that requires the application of mathematics and logic will tend to produce or attract people that value rational and procedural thought.
