Re: One day, a computer will fit on a desk
What a great find Mike. The gentleman was pretty much spot-on.
I'm especially impressed with his ability to see computers becoming communications devices rather that computational calculating engines. Back then most of thought of them as calculators and data storage. We could see they would become smaller but couldn't see how we'd really be using them 50 years on.
Back then I would never had predicted computers would become our telephones, televisions, letter writers, audio and video recorders, and movie projectors.
That gent could see it.

A computer will fit on a desk and work will become so much easier that we'll have 3-day work weeks.
That second part didn't come to pass. When I heard that in 1973, I said that they'll just find more for us to do.
Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
