[ARC5] [BoatAnchors] Radio Electronics Magazine

[Richard Knoppow]

     I also had access to a lot of old radio and general popular science 
magazines at the Los Angeles Cit College library about fifty years ago. 
Also "Fortune" magazine from the 1920s and 1930s when they bound in 
samples of fancy cloth for clothing.
    What I especially remember about the popular science magazines was 
the predictions of what life would be like in twenty-five or fifty 
years. Boy did they ever get stuff wrong. What I found amazing even then 
was why anyone would want some of what the predicted. Automation was 
predicted but not personal computers nor do I see many flying 
automobiles (maybe yet to come).  I loved those old magazines.
