We’ve Come a Long Way, Baby

by admin

This is an newspaper article I came across written 50 years ago about the concept of a home computer. This is what the caption says:

"Scientists from the RAND corporation have created this model to illustrate how a "home computer" would look like in the year 2004. However, the needed technology will not be economically feasible for the average home. Also, the scientists readily admit that the computer will require not yet invented technology to actually work, but 50 years from now scientific progress is expected to solve these problems. With teletype interface and Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use."

Simply amazing.
