Computer: “Please ask questions which I can answer with yes or no” Pizza guy: who are we delivering to? and please give me detailed instructions on how to find your specific location
Como Técnico eletrônico, fico impressionado como naquela ocasião os sintetizadores digitais de voz já eram realidade.... Não eram simples conversores AD analógico /digital. Esse experimento foi feito no dia e ano do meu nascimento. Incrível.
"Dominos lost their chance" I work there let me tell you. We get prank called once every two weeks, and we're busy/got shit to do. We can't be on the phone all day, if its dead silent for a while we'll hang and you can call again. Ik dominos was much different back then, less items and dedicated phone staff, but they still got shit to do.
democrat welfare programs which keep the blacks in the democrat poverty plantation. Min wage is also responsible since each time it is raised it increases not only the cost of everything but reduces the number of people in particular blacks and teenagers that work.
@@AlexanderSchmidt-jz5uf i can already speak (i am in fact quite adept at it) and yet i am supposed to be thrilled and impressed at this miserable computer doing what i could do as a small child? i think not.
can't believe they called the keyboard a "typewriter", did they just not have that word yet or were they worried the average Joe wouldn't understand what that meant?
It's both, i.e. no real word yet (except known by the scientists) & that the typewriter was basically the only thing that the general public were familiar with back then that had keys. The typewriter was already 100+ years old by the mid 1970's & it was both prevalent & ubiquitous around the world. And all computer keyboards today descended from typewriters, that's why keyboards look like they do. The reason we stopped calling computer keyboards as typewriters was because they finally became separate entities so that people won't get confused between the two, because when we think of typewriters today, we still think of that machine that has since become obsolete compared to the computer keyboard. The other machine that resembled a typewriter back then was the teletype/teleprinter, which that too was used a lot back then for decades prior but is now also basically obsolete (since 1980 or so). We will keep using keyboards until some new technology(ies) will make that obsolete too & we won't have to use our fingers that way anymore. Who knows how long that would take to happen, it could be one thousand years or more from now. Or maybe never, we will keep using it for as long as the human race is alive.
That's coming from a restaurant with takeout service. So yes that's cheap. About 3-5 times less than now. But if it's coming from a grocery store today, the prices are still close to that. An extra large (16-18") supreme combo (everything) fresh-made (fridged, not frozen) store brand pizza is around $8.50 usd. I also make pizzas at home, from scratch (flour, etc), to try to save on money, especially from someone else's labor.
not gonna lie i’m a gen z so i’m used to voice synthesis being a thing but if i were working at a pizza place in the 70’s and heard this on the other line i’d probably be pretty terrified but also simultaneously amazed. i really wish i could have been there to be amazed by this kind of thing rather than being so used to it all
