In 1969, BBC reporter Derek Cooper examined the future of computing that could revolutionize banking. I’m looking forward to time travel… it looks totally hackable – even for someone like me!
“Imagine credit card machines that would enable the transfer of funds directly from the customer’s account to that of the shop? Imagine computerized banks that would reap the benefits of shorter queues and more flexible opening times?” The stuff of Science Fiction…
Remember this was the same year that Apollo 11 landed on the moon – or did it – with computers like this? I doubt it!
