Computers Became People

And people became computers.

The first equivalency is well-known, as computers took jobs people used to have. Or at least took the routine part of their jobs. Typewriters took the place of human copyists.

My grandmother graduated from a business college, went to work in Boston's business district (where only men used to be seen) and got her picture on the front page of the newspaper.

People becoming computers has not received as much attention, although this effect on people's personal lives (needless to say) has been more profound.

This can be looked at in two ways: people controlling the computer (by becoming programmers) or the computer controlling people (using the Social Media, that people and the computer created together).
