Amazing 1954 prediction









Text says:
Scientists
from the RAND corporation have created this model to illustrate how 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.

This prediction, in 1954 shows how wrong one can be!
