People's Computers July-August 1978

The cover story of this issue involved a largely manual method of turning outlines into "PETSCII" graphics. All of the examples provided were from Star Wars; befitting the characters on the cover, there were several articles on artificial intelligence inside, one (reprinted) by Isaac Asimov. Nostalgia for the old days of computing was already in effect through a reprinted article explaining how Bob Albrecht had begun teaching FORTRAN to high school students in 1962.

im convinced the reason threepio can’t impersonate a deity is bc lil 9yo anakin’s adhd brain found it funny for some reason and just decided to do it. as someone who has both been a 9yo with adhd and currently lives with a 9yo with adhd, i can assure you this is realistic.

The surprisingly connected origins of "protocol" and "droid" (and why blue milk is kind of the thing that glues them together)!
