Dr. John W. Mauchly, inventor of some of the original room-size
electronic computers, poses in Washington, DC, on November 2, 1962 with
one the size of a suitcase after addressing a meeting of the American
Institute of Industrial Engineers. He now is working on a pocket variety
which, he says, may eliminate the housewife's weekly shopping list and
the chore of filling it by hand. He predicted everyone will be walking
around with his own personalized computer within a decade.
