Most computers in 1968 were batch mode machines run with punch cards where a programmer would hand in a job made of a deck of cards, and a few days later (if he was lucky) he'd get back a print-out of his results. That's only if you worked for one of the few military, government or corporate installations that actually had a computer. Englebart envisioned networked time-shared computers with mice, chorded handsets that would speed up typing, and audio-visual integration. Super f*cking avanced!

It goes to show how old the technology in our homes that we think is modern is really old.
I mean Plasma and LCD technology has been around for well over 25 yrs.
