      I am seriously fascinated by the weird anthropomorphized illustrations of mainframe computers from the 1960s and 1970s. I find them all the time now in my research.pic.twitter.com/CqBTbw9HUy

          I have to imagine all these illustrations must feel pretty abstract now, but they built on the classic IBM 729 tape drive shape that was all over the place 50–60 years ago.pic.twitter.com/lKQtfUoR7q
