I've learned a long time ago that when nerds go full retard and drool over a piece of technology it's normally rejected by the mainstream public. At best it becomes a niche for a while but long term it ends up in a flea market bargain bin with the 1970s pocket fishing pole.

Yeah, they said that about computers as well. How'd that work out?
The breakthrough came last year when several firms started marketing home computers — usually composed of a typewriter panel, a television screen and a cassette recorder.
The machines now being marketed cost no more than a high-quality stereo, and require little more than reading an instruction manual to learn how to operate. The home models presently available can store recipes, do math problems, and even record telephone calls when a person is not home.
But that is only for starters, say those in the computer business. Someday the machines will be doing everything from the wash to income tax returns.
