That was a real "thought-provoker!"  As the computer becomes more and more a
part of every day life, maybe everybody will have to become computer gurus?  On
the other hand, if you read any science fiction you'll "realize" that it's just
a matter of time before all programming of note will be done by machines.  Then,
what will the humans do?  Maybe they'll be telling the machines, via voice or
multimedia input, what is desired and let the machine work out the details? :)
