What the ffffff
The oldest actual PC I can recall is is the one that used to serve as the server on our sortation system at work. I started there in 2003, it had a sticker on it that said 1996, and it lasted until 2008 or so. It was pretty badass for it's time.
I remember being allowed to play with one very briefly in a university computer lab in the late 80s. I think they only let me near it because I was a little kid. They were around, just really rare.
Ok this is a mixed topic here some say the did not have touch screen technology others do.
My self i believe quite possible because it is not a true touch screen technology. It is Lazers past the screen that reads where your finger is by a grid fashion.
Now having said that I do not believe there's anything but a play thing for the rich and powerful of that time.
There where computers at that time that had stylus as well but the sheer cost meant the only groups that had them where movie studio and not a single individual unless like said rich and powerful.
In my old timeline reality the first computers where used in WW 2 on battle ships for guidance of the big guns. The first use of bug in computers was at that time as well. Having said that about 1% of the population in the states was aware of them. The only reason I was aware of the first use of them was my grandfather who served in WW2 and was willing to talk about after 12 years of me asking about the war.
So I'm I one from this reality, dimension, and or whatever or did I get false memories. I can not say for sure I would love to say it was just my reality and not the download effect.
The first touchscreen device I ever had was a calculator in the Mid to late 90βs, but I donβt remember PCs having them.
I remember touchscreens in the early 90's ... so not an M.E for me ... some ATM's use this technology since a long time ago
Personally since my family was in the technology area, I was well aware of computer touchscreens back in the 80's. It's not an M.E. for me personally.
Man. This all keeps getting more wild (for me). Question is... where is all this going? Will we wake up with some futuristic contraption new to some of us that others will recall as always being here?
