New What a computer cost the year you were born




Satan (impatiently) to Newcomer: The trouble with you Chicago people is, that you think you are the best people down here; whereas you are merely the most numerous.
- - - Mark Twain, "Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar" 1897
New I was born BC.
Before computers, that is. :)

I did learn to use an abacus in grade school.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov
New 1971 is the earliest?
I was using a PDP-8 then, but they were out of my price range. I shudder to think what a computer cost in 1950.
"Religion, n. A daughter of Hope and Fear, explaining to Ignorance the nature of the Unknowable."
