When I started with computers back in 1992, Eastern Europe, noone around me had the slightest idea what computers can do. I sort of imagined (and hoped) they will (magically) solve math problems for me so I won't need to actually make the hard effort to understand.
27 years later, not just 99.99% of the humans in general but of my "fellow" programmers, if I can call them so, are still stuck at this petty ignorance level.
