A model of how a home computer will look in 2004.
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…
The year is now 2004 and “economically feasible” or not I demand the right to have one of these in my home. Think of the things I could do with a computer in my own home with not only a teletype interface but the Fortran language also. I could organise the household accounts and my wife could store her recipes in an easily accessible place.
