"Most computers will probably still occupy a large room, however, because of the space needed for the ancillary software - the tapes and cards to be fed in, the operating staff, and the huge piles of paper for printing out the results." - A very inaccurate excerpt from a magazine called The End of the Twentieth Century, pubished in 1970. Technology never ceases to amaze!
