Discussing home computers in 1983:

The look of a media expert when they just can't get past their worldview..

Dude literally explains the entire internet and how computers will communicate before it even exists and weird mustache guys immediate response is “that won’t work” 😂😂😂

Ideas are hard to come by? maybe for him.

it's amazing how confident people are when they are wrong and yet you still see the same thing happening today with current tech. lotsa people confidently wrong but don't know it

The dude who got it right

What stands out more than each guest’s accuracy on the future is the civility and intellectual tone of the debate. It’s sad that that “feels” old.

Always go with the thicker glasses.

“I disagree” 😂 . He disagreed with the idea that something like the internet will make computers more valuable. Predicting the future of tech can sometimes be a fools errand.

Pessimism is easy, Optimism is hard.

LOL Computers are only good for writing programs? Talk about completely missing the boat. Just like the other conceits that computers were just glorified typewriters (word processors) or calculators (spreadsheets).
