1954 Popular Science Magazine — Scientists at the RAND Corporation have created this model to illustrate what a “home computer” could 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 the Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use.

Happy Holiday's to you!
great look back at what others predicted for our future!
