PC's of the future in 1954

[D-Dey]

Accoring to some link I saw on another message board, the RAND corporation predicted that we'd all have PC's in our homes by 2004. True enough, but they thought the ones we'd have would be more like THIS! (http://users.net1plus.com/scottm/HomeComputer.jpg)

Looks more like the cockpit of an airplane to me.

That thing wouldnt fit in my room. :lol:

Kinda funny how back then they expected computers to be about the size of a car in 2004, yet in 2004 they make ones that could basically fit in a pocket.

Bah it looks better than my piece o **** computer at home.

Damn! Well it was still funny, and plausible. I'm going to have to spread this message back.

-Pointless update-

I just found out that this was a photoshop done at www.fark.com, by "Lukket."

Too bad it's fake. That thing looked cool. I wish I had a computer like that in my house. It kind of makes me think of something that could be in a power plant. I can just see Homer Simpson in front of the computer pushing the wrong buttons on that thing. :p

The steering wheel on that thing makes it look like it belongs in a submarine. Damn, that thing looks cool. I wish it was real.
