So much of the history of computing is weird with little, brilliant dead ends like this. I wonder if we're past a point in computing where "I didn't know it was hard" is a valid reason to come up with something entirely novel.

In most ways, we've never had it as good as we have it now, but every so often looking back yields some surprises.
