This 1967 educational film strip was deemed “impossible” and “fantastical” by may observers at the time. With the input from scientists at Bell Labs it painted a future of 2020. It predicted elements of the technologies precisely. From e-commerce to social networks—in 1967:pic.twitter.com/ToOsJhZYYB

1. Very cool that they foresaw that Cherry MX mechanical keyboards were our destiny. 2. That’s not a filmstrip. That’s a film. Film strips were sequences of stills. …https://pnubsehistedtech-projectedmedia.weebly.com/filmstrips-projector--parts-and-guidelines-in-using-the-various-projected-media.html …

Nathan, indeed. As the head of my AV club at high school I had to play 1000s of these. The teaching staff would call anything I played that was not VCR a film strip it stuck with me. They also called sneakers tennis shoes!?

I’ll see your AV club and raise you a mechanical drawing w/ inkwells (tg for 3D CAD).
That said, what’s the best place for me to read your thoughts on voice as the last interface?1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
Nathan, I love it! And thanks for asking. I put some of my work up here under #TheIntelligenceAmplifier #YourWisdomKeeper #TheLastInterface. I am writing a book http://TheLastInterface.com and building as much as I can in my garage lab on a piggy bank. Also look into my @Quora stuff.
