Home Computing Circa 1954

This article was pinned up in one of our cubicles. It is a photo from Popular Mechanics in the year 1954 that tried to foresee what a home computer would look like. Caption reads:Scientists from the RAND Corporation have created this model to illustarte how a home computer could look in the year 2004. However the needed technology will not be economically feasible for the average home. Also, the scientists readily admit that the computer will require not yet invented tochnology to actually work, but, 50 years from now scientific progress is expected to resolve these problems. With teletype interface and the Fortran language the computer will be easy to use.

What was the steering wheel for??
