As computers became available outside of the glass temples and the 
glass rooms, and became increasingly common in branch offices, homes, 
closets, and pockets.

For advanced management and for programming, you can still need 
experienced staff and the modern analogs of the wall of manuals.

For getting newer boxes useful for common tasks (and which can involve 
some programming tasks), the manuals are much thinner.

I've previously posted on the User Interface topic.
