Rob Tornoe: The 'Real' Beginning of the End

Rob Tornoe has a sobering post on his site today. It’s a graph from a 1982 Newsweek article:

“The Modem, a.k.a. modulator/demodulator, is a handy little device that lets computers talk over telephone lines. … ‘I go home, have a glass of wine, turn on my computer and see what’s on Dow Jones,’ says Apple vice president Wilfred Houde. ‘I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but I don’t read the paper anymore.'”

— Newsweek cover story, February 22, 1982, page 54.
