I am writing a paper for a writing class that I am currently taking, and I plan on writing on the subculture that programmers are a part of. So basically I have 2 questions that I need answered, and appreciate everyone's responses.

Question 1.) Why do you program, and what attracted you to programming in the first place?
Question 2.) Do you see any problems or future problems that could arise within the programmer subculture?

Thank you all in advance for the help.

What I have tried:

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this? If you know where I can post this question where I'll be able to get answer please let me know.

1) It was a career choice either a programmer or some other engineering discipline, so i chose programming and i found later that i had a good aptitude for it..

2)Well development AI might result in Matrix or terminator or even Human like scenarios(all these are movies and series)

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

1) Money. And I started because it's indoor work with no heavy lifting.
2) Zombies, mostly. Don't believe me? Check out the questions in QA. Zombies would appear to be writing most of them... :sigh:

In all seriousness, this isn't a "quick answers" type question - it's a discussion starter - which is probably more the kind data you need anyway.
I'd suggest taking this to the forums: The Lounge - CodeProject[^] might be good, but do expect some abuse and a lot of contradictory suggestions.
