Do you have any citations for that?
- reaperducer 1y agoDo you have any citations for that? I'm not the OP, but when you're of a certain age, you don't need citations for that. Memory serves. And my family was saying those sorts of things and teasing me about being into computers as late as the 1970's.

- Henchman21 1y agoWhen you’re of a certain age, time has likely blurred your memories. Citation becomes more important then. Source: me I’m an old SOB.
- reaperducer 1y agoSource: me I’m an old SOB. By your own criteria, a citation better than "me" is needed.
- pessimizer 1y agoLooks like you've got it.
- autoexec 1y agoI can attest to the fact that people who didn't understand computers at all were questioning the value of spending time on them long after the 1970s. The issue is that there are people today who do understand quantum computing that are questioning their value and that's not a great sign.
- oldgradstudent 1y agoIn the 1970s both my parents were programming computers professionaly. Computing was already a huge industry. Just IBM's revenues were in the multi billion dollar range in the 1970s. And a billion dollar in the 1970s was A LOT of money in the 1970s.
