    A conceptual portable computer and communications system designed by Honeywell for Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey in 1968.

    It has a lightpen (vs uninvented mouse) and a camera.

    Sadly it didn't make it into the final cut of the movie!

                First working mouse. 1968. Probably too ugly to add to the design.

                    2001 remains one of my all-time favorite movies. 😎

                    Oh, and I totally just stole this image for another usage but gave you credit so is it really stealing? 🤔

                      So long as it's not straight up stealing like dgar does, I think it's ok.

                          This has definitely been around online since 2014 so it's pretty fair game I'd say? But I'll update my OP.

                          eg in 2015 https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/gallery/the-making-of-2001-a-space-odyssey-stanley-kubrick

                                @Natasha_Jay It was too far-fetched to believe that cathode ray tubes would ever get that slim, or that you could drive such a thing from batteries.
