The same thing happened in the 80's when people stopped using "Computerization" and labeled it "Information Technology", which is a misnomer, in my opinion, because computerization doesn't just involve information technology, it also involves human factors - which were stripped from the field in the labelling, because of the collective assumption that people who computerized were incapable of humanization - i.e. "nerds are not people-people, which is why they can only deal with computers."
But it's a fallacy. Computers mean nothing without humans. Software is 100% a social activity. Break this rule and your software will suck and eventually fail.
