My dad thought computers were important. He got me a VIC-20 soon as they came out, and that was $1,800 in today's money, not an amount he spent lightly.
Sure, obviously there were exceptions or we wouldn't have half the modern conveniences we do. My parents were very enthusiastic about computers, and my kids are each building their own desktops. I'm speaking in generalities.
