Technology without Practical Application is Useless

This is the Commodore PET 2001. Commodore started producing these way, way back in 1977, and I remember when my elementary school started getting them. I remember the monochrome display as tiny as it was. By today's standards, it was archaic using a 1mHz processor with 4KB (yes KB!) of RAM. The input and output device was a cassette player (yes!). Technology is always changing, and if we don't change with it, we will suffer the same fate as our friend PETasaurus Rex.
