Same idea.
James Wilson super empathetic and incapable of making rational decisions when someone is in pain and he decided to specialize in treating terminally ill patients. No wonder House wants to study him like a bug
1968 Olivetti Valentine.
Interesting that 10 years on it was still recognized as being stylish, and now 60 years later, it’s eye-catching. Some things are timeless, to design something like that must give the artist an ever lasting high.
Or they could be using it as a joke. The man is writing a love letter. (Valentine - “I love you”)
(Also note they ended production in 1975).

Behold, a thing I saw.
This is what the future will look like? I can’t wait.

Some of you guys have never burned a CD and it shows
Let’s see what Dave has to say about that
What do you think would surprise a person from the 1950s most about modern computers?
How disposable they've become. We toss away computers like old socks.
How we got away from the model of timesharing for so long, only to go right back to cloud computing. People were so eager to personalize the experience, it's why things like the PDP-1 came into existance in the late 50s.
How much software went from this thing that was freely, openly shared as just a point of fact to a world where people pay for software regularly.
How much people trust a computer to think for them. A computer cannot think, it can only do math really fast, *you* have to think about how to make use of that platform to make your workload easier. People using computers in the 50s understood this implicitly, and now some people want shitty autocomplete to do the hard part for them. The human tasks that are worth doing, but that's a whole rant in itself.
How much computers just get powered off, or just run without doing anything, because of how plentiful and commonplace they are. In the 50s, no computer time was wasted, it was too expensive. If the machine was operational back then, it was busy.
True color is 32 bit.
This was the stance taken by my 10th grade history teacher after making us read Hiroshima by John Hersey.
yeah the cold war created thousands of nuclear weapons and killed millions in proxy wars but it also gave us wd-40 so it's impossible to tell if it's bad or not
My blog, or attempt at one. On the internet I’m a 22 year old guy, but in real life I’m, well… the same. (My pfp is what I look like)
