Yesterdays Tomorrows World

[Fzero]

The vid in the "while we waiting" thread just reminded myself about these great classic videos, didn't want to go OT so putting them here for you, I think some of you geeks will like these short flashbacks to the past, looking back is quite mad really

I don't know if Tomorrows World was a worldwide shown BBC program but if not it was basically a current and future technologies program

this ones good, on the PC, and will one day ALL homes have one? lol

Darn.
It's because I'm black, isn't it?

LMFAO!

Well, the BBC's melanin detector may be a bit dodgy because I'm white and it did that for me, too. Of course, I'm not in the UK so not paying my TV tax may have something to do with it, I don't really know.

Yep, "not available in your area". A publically available proxy in the UK, anyone?

WTF you telling me BBC don't even allow their website to the world? That's lame of them!

hopefully a proxy browser will work for you overseas or else some are on the youtuber

The video on the elliot light-pen I can't find on YouTube though, and there's not many more been put up there, maybe on other video sites but I can only watch YouTube at moment as on phone

Haha, I used to program my first Basic programs on one of those TTYs seen in that first video.. in school. Resources were limited so they obviously didn't have the last tech. The sound gives me flashbacks to when I was printing out the listing or running my programs. Oh well. The compiler was on a huge roll of paper tape that had to be loaded first.
