I'm 28 and both of my parents were engineers back in Ukraine (at the time Soviet Union). My dad was not primarily a programmer (ended up becoming a marine surveyor), but I am fairly sure he had to be involved with it at some point in his studies and career back then. I remember my mom would bring stacks upon stacks of used punched cards for us to doodle on to avoid wasting blank paper.
