Interesting adverts for computer enthusiasts, with explicit technical details. Computers were also a symbol of 'modern' and 'scientific objectivity' before the Web and advertising.

I kept a few pages of Marketa Luskacova's Brick Lane photos from that issue as they have not been published in book form, but the text of the advert has been lost to time. This image can be read in so many ways, the power relations that come from access to the data! The advert was for some kind of health care or nursing service. The terminal looks to be some kind of mini-computer?
