Talk about a blast from the past, I found an old Popular Science magazine October 1975 while doing some storage container cleaning/purging. I’ve attached some photos below of these articles that I thought I’d share with the forum.
Talk about bringing back a lot of fond memories. For those who were not around in the ‘70s well I can say is that a lot of technology changes were coming really fast. Electrical tubes were so passe since one now had transistors. Digital gate logic was coming on the scene for the average person. Soon we had handheld calculators! The days of Heath Kits, Radio Shack electronic kits, etc. Even the home phone was getting a face lift from rotary to a keypad. The reason I bring this up is because there were a couple solar/alternate energy articles in this magazine. Reading what they thought would be like, in comparison to what has been implemented today is rather interesting.
Oh well enjoy the articles from the past, I’m still waiting for my George Jetson’s Flying Car.
