Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for August 06, 2012

Time to get back to what the kids are doing.

The computer in he first frame is hardly a monster — the FIRST digital computers filled rooms and needed their own climate control systems because they created so much heat!

SERIOUS lack of perspective!

I’ve never wanted to try and watch a movie or t.v. show on an iPhone. Why would anyone, in a 72" flatscreen world?? Besides, I like kickin’ back and watching movies in my easy chair, with my 17 in. laptop, and earphones. (All I need is my Redenbacher popcorn! LOL!)

I remember the huge UNIVAC computer rooms.

I think he was referring the the home computers. Or perhaps Janis’s first computer.

“Except that it is kind of small” – gotta keep the meter!

You might not watch a small screen at home (unless someone else was watching the big screen) but they can be handy on the road. On my last plane trip, everyone but me had an iPad. It was strange looking over someone’s shoulder as they watched people on an airplane in Inception.

My first PC was only 6 inches square. A Timex ZX81

what is she doing in the last picture?

Look at the communicator of the original Star Trek series. it was about the size of todays cell phones and all you could do was talk. Now you can talk, surf the web, takes pictures and video in high def, text, plan trips, play music. Our future is not as advanced as their past.

Too funny!
