Scientists from the Rand Corporation have created this model to illustrate how a "home computer" could look in the year 2000. However, the needed technology will not be economically feasible for the average home. Also, scientists readily admit that the computer will require not-yet-invented technology though 50 years from now scientific progress is expected to solve these problems. With teletype interface and the Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use.
