Компьютер наших дней
В 1954 году американские ученые спроицировали макет компьютера, который по их мнению должен стать домашним через 50 лет, то есть в наш с вами 2004 год.. Кликнув на фотку вы увидите этот хайтек в полный рост, что называется, во всей его красе.. Подсказка, руль вероятно планировалось использовать в качестве мышки:)
Вот так вот, а мы то с вами о портативных гаджетах говорим:) Фортран и телетайпный интерфейс - вот в чем сила:)

I think it's a Hoax !
You could see on http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/computer.asp
a colour photo of the "Home computer". As stated : Although the photograph displayed could represent what some people in the early 1950s contemplated a "home computer" might look like (based on the technology of the day), it isn't, as the accompanying text claims, a RAND Corporation illustration from 1954 of a prototype "home computer." The picture is actually an entry submitted to an 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):
The color picture above was taken in 2000 at the Smithsonian Institution exhibit "Fast Attacks and Boomers: Submarines in the Cold War" and depicts:
A full-scale mock-up of a typical nuclear-powered submarine's maneuvering room in which the ship's engineers control the power plant and electrical and steam systems
