Word Processing, Internet, PayPal, SciFi writer predicted it all.

We all take this for granted, but here is an interview with Jerry Pournelle from early 1979 where he describes a big change in the publishing field. He has a Cromenco Z80 and talks about MODEMS and all the great things that will come in the future. I was the first to vote for it on YouTube, because I really thought it was an interesting view into the past, what he was already doing and the future, what can be done, but since this was filmed 28 years ago, all of it has already happened. My introduction to computers was Byte magazine, where he still writes.
