I think development of software will continue to get "easier" as languages, technologies and ideas evolve. I think over time these technologies will get to the stage where you barely have to think about the technology in use, and rather just focus on the problem at hand/what you want to build; this really is currently the case only after years (or decades) of experience and purposeful practice.
The current development of software does require a lot of knowledge to break into the market; however this also means that software development is a skilled profession which leads to higher than average salaries.
I would also add that we are seeing people enter the software/web dev market without a 4 year degree. A lot of people that I know have done 2 year diplomas and even compressed 4 month "bootcamp" style programs
I really see no use in backing up much from any social media/messaging applications, most of the content is trivial garbage. I never go through old Facebook conversations or look through old twitter content to indulge in past events. I could see people backing up photos or videos on some media, but other than that, nah.
