My parents thought that "Silicon Valley" was "that 90's thing". Many Americans haven't paid attention to it or heard about it since the dot-com burst. I have also several times encountered the idea that "there are no more software jobs, they all went overseas". Of course that has no basis in reality, but that is one of the themes about the tech industry that is perpetuated by various forms of media.

One of the smarter guys in my physics class was convinced that programming was a dead end career. I was perplexed since he read a lot of science and tech news and seemed pretty up to date on things in general.
