The Latest Technology News From 1934, 1937, And 1956


Posted by Mitch Wagner, Dec 6, 2006 03:20 PM

This 1934 brief from Modern Mechanix describes eyeglasses that magnify 18 times. And they make a great fashion statement too!

Also: This 1937 brief from Popular Science describes a man who makes his own, complete set of false teeth out of stainless steel.

And: The latest technology for using computers for inventory management -- in 1956.. That's still an issue for InformationWeek readers, 50 years later.

Be sure to click through the links, then click on the magazine covers to enlarge them. They're wonderful -- what the future looked like in our parents' and grandparents' days.
