This is also due to the popularisation of computers, the internet and internet culture.

Everyone and their aunts now are into computers, and one in x is a software "engineer". Back in the day, it was only the hardcore nerds that were attracted to these things :)

What are the introverts and "hardcore nerds" supposed to do now?
