>won't help you to become a programmer unless most people can't become a programmer. This assumes you're not willing to do what others cannot or will not do. Innovation and developing your own ideas is key. Even in the 19th and 20th centuries industrial goods were only as good as the purposes they were applied to. The difference is that those industrial goods required greater investment and labor. Today you can use a computer, develop products and services, market them online and collect revenue with only your own labor. It is a cottage industry with worldwide reach.
