In Other Words

Predictions from fifty years ago

Isn’t that nice, a mock up from 1954 of what a computer was going to look like in the year 2004. That’s fifty years ago, imagine what things will look like fifty years from now? Most of us are going to experience that and that means that some technologies we can barely conceive of today are going to be a reality then.

Oh what surprises the future will hold and what technologies our grandchildren will take for granted while we mutter and groan, complaining how anybody can ever understand it. (Picture nicked from Gravity Lens (again)).
