Tomorrow's World | The Man With A Home Computer (1967)

"Experts predict that in twenty years time, all new houses will be built with special computer points."

From his bed in Highgate, London, industrial consultant Rex Mallik has the world at his fingertips - he can get the latest stock prices or follow market trends even before he puts his slippers on.


Rex is the lucky owner of a home computer terminal, and while he is still figuring out the best way to use it, his four-year old son has enthusiastically embraced the new technology. One day, it's thought, we might all have a computer terminal in our homes.
