Computing has been publishing issues of its intelligent and thought-provoking magazine since 1973. We can’t help but wonder at the sheer amount of difference in the world of computing between then and now. Personal computers were still hugely expensive back then, took ages to do tasks and were more likely than not to crash. So, apart from the expense, no different to today eh?
The key thing to remember whenever anyone says ‘oh, if they could do x in the 70s and 80s, why can’t we do things incredibly fast nowadays?’ is that as computers have gotten more nimble, so too have our demands and usages for them increased in complexity. It seems that as soon as someone releases a new piece of hardware, we will have almost instantaneously developed some software that will take it to its limits.
Perhaps the key difference between now and 1973 however is connectivity. Everything is connected to everything else, or can be, thanks to the wonders of the internet. It is unthinkable, now, a world without the internet, and this is particularly true from the perspective of business. Our company, Newsstand, could not have existed back then, unless we took all our orders by phone. There would be no quick and simple method to look up what you might expect from a magazine, and, worst of all, I would be out of a job! NB
Computing Magazine is in the Other Computer category and is just one of over 3,000 magazines now available at Newsstand, to browse recent front covers of Computing Magazine, please click here.
