I remember Plato as a kid in the 80s. My mom wrote software for the at the University of Delaware. I remember using the touch screens. there was this game where you could drop a flowerpot on Mickey Mouse, and a game where you'd brew a potion and it would randomly generate a vector drawing of a monster.
- jblebrun 2y agoIt's cool to see this as one of the top comments. I grew up in southern Delaware, and remember messing around with Plato at Delaware Technical and Community College, which was also a satellite campus for UD, when I'd hang out there with an elementary school friend whose mom worked there. I feel grateful to have had exposure to things. I don't remember much about it, but I remember that it felt very futuristic and magical.
- rbanffy 2y agoPosts like this make me very happy - I've never seen a real Plato terminal working and have little idea of the social context they'd be used. I love to quote William Gibson on this: “The future is already here – it’s just not very evenly distributed.“ You had a glimpse of it. Treasure those memories.
