It took me a while to ferret out that this kind of idea was 50 to 75 years away if then. Why?
Because we didn't have things like RAM or microchips yet and so memory was very very expensive because it was so clunky and big compared to now. When you have Random Access Memory it means you can access information in many many ways but in 1966 mostly you had to access information in only a couple of ways which meant that when you programmed you programmed in a single batch file which meant that you might have a program 25 feet long of printout paper and if one comma was off it screwed up the whole program and it was very very tedious. So, Though I learned to program in Fortran and Cobol and eventually taught myself the Basic Language and taught my older kids to program games into our first home computers with Basic and taught them to use MS-DOS which preceded Windows 95 my dream moved to more of a hobby than anything else by the time I was 22 years of age. However, I was working in the computer field by age 20 after studying in college and was making enough money to buy myself a brand new 1968 Camaro which changed my life a lot too then in 1968. In my Camaro I once drove it 145 miles per hour by the way because it was that kind of amazing car too. I kept the Camaro for about 10 years as it was an amazing car. There was another car I owned from 2000 to 2010 that was really amazing which was my 2000 Lexus RX300 full time 4 wheel drive. This was a gold car and it was better in rain and snow on a paved road than anything I have ever driven. The full time 4 wheel drive was amazing!
