The home computer in 2004 (as seen from 1954)
This clipping from a 1954 issue of Popular Mechanics shows how RAND Corporation scientists thought the "home computer" would look in 2004. So they were a little off...
Take a closer look and read the caption.
Hmmm, teletype and Fortran - you know you are getting old when you can actually say you've used a computer with both!
Thanks for the image, Tara.
