2004 computer, as predicted in 1954


kinda hard to read so i typed it real quick:
QUOTE
Scientists from the RAND Corporation have created this model to illustrate how a "home computer" could look like 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 technology to actually work, but 50 years from now scientific progress is expected to solve those problems.  With teletype interface and the Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use.

The picture is actually an entry submitted to a Fark.com image modification competition, taken from an original photo of a submarine maneuvering room console found on U.S. Navy web site, converted to grayscale, and modified to replace a modern display panel and TV screen with pictures of a decades-old teletype/printer and television (as well as to add the gray-suited man to the left-hand side of the photo):
