Troy 3,781 Posted June 12 Report Share No, I don’t have any tech from the 70’s there wasn’t much personal tech to speak of back then just a TV, radio, Variety of devices to play music, a calculator, and maybe a digital watch. Yeah, that laptop did not have a hard drive. One of the floppy disks held the operating system and other held the program that you were running. I’m not sure they called that device a laptop back then might’ve been called a portable computer, but I could be wrong. I did not answer the question because I did not know what you meant between computational and physical elements. Are used to build and sell personal computers back in the early 90s.
