This prognosticator of the future of home computing back in 1974 was right when he said that, one day, we'd all have a computer on our desks (though he perhaps didn't quite envision in our pockets) and that they would allow us to communicate globally and work from everywhere. But he was really wrong in his prediction that the social development price we would pay would be negligible. Clearly he did not see it turning us into heavily-addicted, electronics-obsessed, soulless cyborgs.
