Hannibal Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Originally posted by stingerhs its actually quite astonishing how far we've come over the last 40 years in computers. microprocessors, hard drives, removeable media (floppies, flash drives, cd-r/rw, dvd +/- rw, zip disks, etc.), color display, games, business applications,........[/droning] Can't wait to see what they come up with in the next 40. They'll probably be laughing at our flat screen monitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, the computer will be tiny, the monitor will be like an inch thick, more ram, more cability, and it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on...

illuzion69 Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 The first thing I thought of when I looked at that computer(?) was that it looked like the computers in the fallout games, it just needs a Vault-Tec logo on it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bneezy Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 It might look something like this. i think i've actualy seen one and i've actualy played a coinop where the character i was playing was a holographic projection Hey Aleggy, was that the one with the futuristic cowboy trying to save that woman? I've played that one. Kept dying. I love how inaccurate future predictions are. Just look at what was based in the year 2000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at what was based in the year 2000. yep thats the one i kept dying to but i think that had more to do with the crap controls rather than me being a crap player, and i'm guessing it was the same for u lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingerhs Posted October 17, 2004 Share Posted October 17, 2004 Originally posted by bneezy It might look something like this. i've just noticed this, but did you guys happen to notice in the little description for the picture that it is talking about how good the FORTRAN language was???? for those that don't know, FORTRAN was seriously outclassed by BASIC, and later PASCAL. oh yeah, they're all computer languages (for the younger crowd ). jeez we've surpassed the programming expectations.
