While we're at it, wasn't the original argument that most modern electronic devises wouldn't exist without programming/programmers? Well, that's true, even if programming was originally done by mechanical means. Ada Lovelace (among others) was at it long before the first transistor was made - and before Babbage could complete his engine, too.
As for the topic at hand, I found Java to be a good entry point. It's widely used, so you don't nessesarily have to move on - unless you're interested in game development, of course. Then you might as well start with Assembler. Hehe.
