someday we'll land on the moon...

Watch this video. My favorite quote:

“This is only the first step in newspapers by computers. Engineers now predict the day will come when we get all our newspapers and magazines by home computer, but that’s a few years off.”




We’ve come a long way, eh?

This video reminds me of the science books we had back in Seymour where I grew up. My Jr. High School had so little money, we were forced to use books that said things like (I shit you not). “Scientists believe that someday man will walk on the moon…” I remember one class in particular, our science teacher got so upset she made us all “turn to page X and rip out pages x through x.”

That was a fun day. :)
