In the sixties you would type punch cards and make sure you typed correctly so that you don't mess the batch run.

And, honestly, it is more fulfilling to work/interact with others in a school/hospital/social setting than toil away in a cubicle. Raising a child or teaching might actually be more exciting than starring at a screen.
