A lot of people rewrote history to assume everyone knew there was going to be big money in computers or that they were going to be a big social institution.
In reality, even when I was a kid the computer nerd was considered a loser pursuing some weird niche hobby that would get you socially ostracized and didn't have any immediate paths to gainful employment.
It really wasn't until the late 90s that people really started to understand what had made those social outcasts so excited.
