Were there any parallels between the systems they worked on and helped bring into this world and the modern era with "supercomputers" and AI, as far as people being worried about the technology replacing their jobs?

Did they have much of a network or reference to lean on when novel problems would come up, or was it more of a "figure out a way to make it work" way of troubleshooting?

I do not remember people being concerned about computers replacing them because in the 60s and 70s computers were creating a lot more jobs than they were replacing and automation had not taken over at that time. IBM had a very good support network all the way to the plant if necessary.
