Your friendly neighborhood archivist was loath to harken back to the past on Future Day, but couldn't let the week go by without investigating what life was like "back then" that made for such a creative interpretation of the future.
Of course, SOME of us remember. SOME of us actually saw the Back to the Future movies on their original release dates. But for those who weren't around, those of us who have forgotten, or those of us who have consciously chosen to delete that time from our memories (because shoulder pads and big hair are the stuff of nightmares), here's a little taste of 1985-style technology from the Wednesday, October 23, 1985, edition of keyboard chatter, a semi-regular feature in Prospectus at the time.
Wayback Wednesday Extra: The holographic shark in Back to the Future II reminded me of a fun weekend craft project: make your own hologram!
