What Would Become Google In 1964
Ran across this, this morning and thought it was a very interesting look into the future as seen in 1964. It’s a graphic pulled from a Childcraft book called “How Things Change” and it shows what was thought the computer world had in store for us. It’s a simple question and answer machine. Which is essentially what Google or Wikipedia is to us today. We type what we want, we get it in fractions of a second. It’s very cool to see the future as predicted like this and then to actually see it come true.

Pretty cool. It’s funny how straight fwd and logical they thought it would be. “Sound the first words….If so run it…” Nowadays, it seems that the emphasis on looks, both in software (OS’s) and outwear (such as iPods) and the like.
