I agree, but when most of my "elders" growing up believed computers to be this magical voodoo money printer box that just happens to go on facebook, It's not suprising they believed any job relating to a computer was safe and stable.
It’s true to an extent. It largely depends on what exactly you do with the compiuters. Devs are the easiest to layoff because there are a ton of them and a lot of fresh graduates are programmers. If you’re in a more specialized field in tech, you have pretty good job security.
Do not question the elders of the internet.
