It might be some kind of weird older generation disdain for computers. Graduated high school in 2005 in Estonia, some of my language teachers and relatives pretty much looked down on anything computer-related and saw it as only 'playing around with widgets'. Of course, come 2009, that attitude had changed a lot after seeing that the IT-sector was the only one still hiring.

An instructor told me around 1977 that there was not going to be much need for programmers in the future, because every piece of software that was needed had already been written.

I like to rephrase statements like that in the form of: "Every possible problem and need already has an automated solution that has been mechanized and made aware by everyone on the planet."

OMG unbelievable. Like there will be a market for only 5 computers...
