    If that’s what they thought computers would look like, how would we ever have flying cars?

    Very encouraging to see how they started with reality and DID work out the problems of size and space.  When I take off my glasses… that computer and TV mounted on the wall do kind of look like my cell phone and laptop…just shrink them.  And what about Dick Tracy’s wrist phone?  LOL

    Yes, I knew that four years ago when I first saw it. But it still represents a possible view of what people might have thought a computer would look like in the future.  Thanks for the ping.
