Scientists from the RAND Corporation have creatred this model to illustrate how a "home computer" could look like in the year 2004. However the needed technology will not be economically feasible for the average home. Also the scientists readily admit that the computer will require not yet invented technology to actually work, but 50 years from now the scientific progress is expected to solve these problems. With teletype interface and the Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use.

Naw, they're still spouting out bullshit about what the future will be like. There was a series of shows on Discovery a few weeks ago with a Japanese guy hosting it. He was some sort of futurist, but not exactly a scientist, I don't think.
