Historical Technology Books: Compute! Magazine Issue 001 (1979) - 8 in a series

Technology isn't just computers, networks and phones. Technology has always been part of the human experience. All of our ancestors have looked for ways to help the survive and do less work for more gain. Archive.org has a host of old technology books (from mid-19th to mid-20th Century) available in many formats and on a host of topics. Many of the technologies discussed within these books are being put to use again these days in the back to the land" and homesteading movements. You might even find something that could address one of your own garden or farm issues, but has been lost to time and history. Enjoy! --Douglas

Historical Technology Books: Compute! Magazine Issue 001 (1979) - 8 in a series

Another magazine I read from almost the beginning. I even typed in long program listings to build a game for a friend’s kids to play. Those were the days…NOT! There were always typos and bugs to be corrected and you often had to wait for future issues to find corrections in the code that people had discovered. Still, we had computers and we did fun things with them. Heck, I wouldn’t have gotten through college without the assistance of AppleWriter and AppleWorks for writing papers. I also first learned how to be a tech support person, which I then turned into a lifelong career! — Douglas
