Old school online search
The small image on the right (click on it to enlarge) is borrowed from johnjron1's flickr collection. It's a great illustration of of a circa 1978 librarian accessing the Medline database with a dedicated terminal, acoustically coupled modem, and rotary telephone. This equipment was high-tech in '78. We've come a long way in a rather short span of time. Makes me wonder what we'll be saying about 2007 technology in the year 2037
Take a look at the rest of johnjron's 1970's collection for more trips down memory lane.
