These days IT is everywhere, as a car is. But it does not make car mechanics a mandatory subject.. Most people use a car, and do not have any interest to figure out how it works.
One of the (many) reasons I don't have a car, is that it is not possible for me to learn how to unfuck a modern automobile in a polytechnic short course ;-) I hear that these days you don't just need a toolbox, you need fancy-pants computers to talk to the engine. There seems to be more electronics in a new car than in my entire house... Admittedly, I can't unfuck the hub gears or drum brakes of my bike, either...
