EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken circa late 1970s, a young man is intently focused on his work in a cozy office setting. The room is adorned with Venetian blinds that filter the natural light streaming in from the window, casting stripes across the floor and adding an element of sophistication to the space. The man's attire, complete with a striped shirt and beard, further emphasizes the era's distinct fashion trends. At the heart of the man's workstation lies an Exidy Sorcerer computer, an early microprocessor-based system that revolutionized personal computing during the 1970s. The Sorcerer's monitor, with its green phosphor screen, displays lines of text as the man types away on the attached word processor. The room is filled with the rhythmic clatter of keys and the occasional whir of the floppy disc drives, as the man saves and loads his documents. The Exidy Sorcerer, an 8-bit home computer, was a significant step forward in the world of computing, offering users the ability to write and run their own software. The man in the photograph appears to be taking full advantage of this technological marvel, demonstrating the early potential of personal computing for productivity and creativity. As the man continues to work, he is engrossed in his task, oblivious to the passage of time. This image encapsulates the spirit of innovation and dedication that characterized the 1970s, a time when technology began to transform the way we live, work, and communicate.
