With all the talk of predictions, polls, and odds, I thought it was fitting too look back at when Journalism began the slippery slope from reporting the election to predicting the election. Fans of old computing technology may enjoy this one as well. I thought it was a good piece even if you are not a fan of NPR.

I was surprised by how
primitive this computer was, compared to modern computers. It had a total memory of about 1 KB. That is 1000 12 character words.
