Very much ahead of its time and on the money. Except for one thing: “On an even more important level, it may free us from the restrictions of what has been called the creeping bureaucracy of our recent past – - -”. Yet, the article did use the word “may”. This was 1967 before I was allowed to trade my slide rule for a pocket caculator!

At first this seemed like a routine computer article of the period. But then the author writes: “One of the most exciting prospects for the future is that all of us, however lacking in engineering skill, will someday be able to operate a computer as easily as we now operate our automobiles, because the computer itself will show us how. It is only a matter of time, you discover in the laboratories, before all of us will have our homes hooked up to what the scientists are calling ‘information public utilities’ and will have brain power piped in just as we now have electric power. What the world will then be like staggers the imagination.”

Now that’s impressive foresight!
