For a teenager to have that much equipment in his bedroom in 1983 was insane. If you had your own television, you were riding high.

[@eaglevision993]

Well the Imsai 8080 was already pretty outdated in 1983 as it was introduced in 1975 if I am not mistaken. So it would be availble pretty cheap by 83. Back in the 80s and 90s computer power rose exponentially and a system was basically outdated and worthless 2 years from being the top of the line. Today there is not much difference in a 5 year old computer and a new one regarding performance. Back in the 80s the difference was LIGHTYEARS.

[@alblgz]

both his parents worked, btw.

[@jonzenrael]

@@eaglevision993 Yeah I gotta second this. It's a bit later than 1983 but in the late 80's I had both a fully kitted out Apple II *and* a Commodore PET come through my bedroom. My dad worked at ICI and back then when they replaced the systems a lot of staff simply got to 'lose' the old ones. Sure it was 10 years out of date but it sure as hell got me hooked on computers. I'd have been about 8 to 10? Sadly they were given away to my cousin because when I finally got an Amiga my dad considered them obsolite. He didn't really know what we had (nor did I at the time, i guess) - two of the 1977 big three. Makes me die a little inside whenever i think about it.

I guess it is just easier to type and say, "Internet," verses, "World Wide Web."

[@Lord_Alzorn]

I remember being a kid and wondering who voiced Joshua. My family said it was a computer, but I didn't buy it. If that's the case, why didn't we hear more systems use that style of TTS? After doing more research, I learned that Joshua was actually voiced by Prof. Falken, John Wood. To get the inflection correct, he recorded every line backward. Then, they edited the lines into the correct order and added the filter. "Shall we play a game" was recorded as "Game a play we shall" The more you know.

plot twist: they never existed, this is hollywood

[@sitizenkanemusic]

Dude, back then only super rich people could own computers. It's not like it is today with a multiple computers in every household. And to have a basic dial-up internet in the 80s was about 300 bits per second through a Hayes Micromodem. And a setup like Matthew Broderick had costed close to 10,000 dollars. And that was early 1980s money. So you do the math after inflation. You either had to be really dedicated as a computer hobbyist to have one or have one for your job.

[@deckard2665]

You are incorrect to say that only "super rich" people owned computers back then. There were plenty of families that owned computers (not like today of course) but home computers were treated more like a family appliance almost like the refrigerator or a television. The family would gather around in the living room most often to use one. In the early eighties there were plenty of 8-bit systems available for low prices as low as 595.00 dollars at the time. I think the main reason the adoption of the home computer took time was that people didn't quite understand the practical purpose of owning one. Its not like today were our entire society is accustomed to consumer technology. But yes you are correct the system that Lightman is using is not typical of any teenager or family home computer at the time.

[@deckard2665]

Never existed. In 1983 girls (girls I knew) not only did not understand the home computer, they thought you were weird for using one.
