There is even a youngster out there that started a work called "the art of computer programming." We are definitely legitimate to lament about the good old time when art and mere texnical stuffs were clearly and sharply separated, while this new generation is ruining societies and our glorious civilizations with their careless use of words that mixes everything. Well, at least as legitimate as any old man in traceable history. https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/28169/what-is-the-oldest-authentic-example-of-people-complaining-about-modern-times-an https://history.stackexchange.com/questions/28169/what-is-th...
