I love this picture on so many levels.
For starters, the amount of care that the artist made in getting the machines and other computing paraphernalia correct.
But also because it encapsulates the promise that computers had in the 1970s. The sheer optimism that computers could really change the world in a positive way.
I still think they can. I refuse to believe that we've corrupted computing beyond that optimistic phase.

1. It's not that computers make future better, it's that they provide us with an illusion of better, so that we can ignore the disasters around us. The beautiful world is _within_ the computer.
2. It's not technology that's corrupted, it's the people. Technology is just a tool. It only amplifies what's been lurking within people for ages.
