The 80s didn't have 32MB RAM for a start

Are you fucking retarded? It's obviously a YouTube still. What happened to this board? It's all vibe coders now?

Computers were going to take over the world.

>Pollution preventer
How gullible we were back then

>>106228885
>It's obviously a YouTube still.
Wut

>>106228885
literally nothing about this image indicates that it's from youtube. even if it were from youtube it doesn't have any bearing on the fact that it's a picture of a bios from the 90s and not from the 80s.

>What happened to this board? It's all vibe coders now?
Outside of /dpt/ this board hasn't had any coders on it in the entire 15 years I've been browsing this shithole.

Common sense indicates. You don't have it.

>>106228983
You = Fucking womble my fren.

>>106228983
ah, yes, common sense is posting a picture of 90s tech while asking a question about tech from the 80s.

Try not to be a homosexual about it. Also stop dressing like a woman, you're not one.

>>106229055
The projection wasn't necessary. it's interesting to see where your insecurities lie though.

>>106229055
106229024 absolutely savaged and ravaged there. What you gonna do now tho?

>>106229071
>oh, you're so insecure...
Yeah, believe that if it makes you feel good.

>>106229082
Already did. You missed it.

This is well into the 90s.
Pentium 75 blows the fuck out of 80s shit.
80s hype was more like 386 going into 486 era maybe?
I watch a lot of retro tech tv stuff that's been archived. So for an answer to your question, the hype was stuff like the concept of paperless offices I guess.
Accounting. Spreadsheets. Computer graphics.
People would do their own TV overlay graphics with like a Commodore 64. Even in the 90s school still had shit from the 80s, so I remember the AV-club type of shit vaguely where they'd use it for overlays for school videos or whatever.

The 80s was the Home Computer Revolution but in reality is was still a small industry compared to the overall economy. There was a public fascination with computers but few adults really understood much about them.

The tech industry was pretty divided into two camps: home computers and mainframes. Home computers helped move society into trusting computers as previously mainframes were seen as a tool of oppression. Little did they know that it would be billions of networked computers that would turn the world into a surveillance state of a magnitude that the Soviets could never have dreamed about having.

This is a typical ad for the late 80s. Keep in mind that the color PC/AT system listed would be almost $5000 when adjusted for inflation, so most people with home computers were still using cheap Commodores, Tandys, and Ataris.

diablo 2 days. damn

from what i gather watching retroomers on the jeetToob, 80s computer hype was color graphics, networking, unix wars, GUI vs CLI, floppy disks, hard drives, 8-bit to 16-bit home desktop microcomputers, graphing calculators, BBS, email, games, and at the end of the decade the world wide web.

>youtube still
the same niggers that uses microwave time
