Most people had never seen a mouse prior to the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984.alwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213751381203010095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-4439490193025223702009-03-04T08:14:00.000-05:002009-03-04T08:14:00.000-05:00They make the standard error that all these predic...They make the standard error that all these predictive works make: that the database of whatever - in this case real estate - would be controlled my some official body - in this case the "board of realtors" or whatever they called it. Others do the same, up to having everything controlled and accessed by the government.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17130553146289431068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-44780065188063028392009-03-01T14:19:00.000-05:002009-03-01T14:19:00.000-05:00A lot of the screen mockups here look like Videote...A lot of the screen mockups here look like Videotex / Minitel implementations. This similar to what the Prodigy Online Service used back in the late 80s (?) through the mid 90s, before they became an ISP. In fact, the Minitel service was introduced by France Télécom in 1982 in part to be an electronic phone book / Yellow Pages. When a user signed up and got a terminal - for free - he or she no longer received the white pages of the phone book (but still got a printed copy of the Yellow Pages.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12403546594507116190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-51281257726475734802009-02-28T00:40:00.000-05:002009-02-28T00:40:00.000-05:00This video and company behind it was actually very...This video and company behind it was actually very innovative! Most of this describes the modern internet search engine and high speed internet and cable service. I love the use of the Radio Shack joystick for navigation! LOL! I had one on my Radio Shack TRS-80 back in the early 80's. Good stuff!suctionhorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706667234707039720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-23211732782191781192009-02-28T00:22:00.000-05:002009-02-28T00:22:00.000-05:00I like how unimaginative these people are.

I also like how none of this stuff came to be, it's like they gave up once they heard about the Internet.<BR/><BR/>Just think how bad it would be if the Internet did not exist and all we had were multiple closed off systems that consisted of nothing but a few on demand videos with 24 point font next to it. This is angrying up my blood just thinking about it.Yaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00174009040573556131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3904461976821332291.post-41892978550939122752009-02-26T07:32:00.000-05:002009-02-26T07:32:00.000-05:00really interesting! i enjoyed that one older man's...really interesting! i enjoyed that one older man's insight about the importance of being able to use the application without knowing the science behind it. at one point in the video, the date 1989 pops up on the real estate program. maybe it's from 89?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
