Mass Old Tech: Gizmodo on Polaroid, Visicalc

Gizmodo’s “Gizmodo ‘79″ series takes a look at a couple of pieces of local innovation: The Polaroid SX-70, which looks it was pretty fun, and Dan Bricklin’s Visicalc, which does not, though clearly it was handy.

After the jump, watch a clip of the PBS documentary “Triumph of the Nerds” about the importance of Visicalc to the early personal computing industry.
