Modern Mechanix Round-UP

Today on Modern Mechanix we look at an article from a 1966 issue of Look magazine about the new craze among college kids for computer dating and the students at Yale and MIT making tons of money from it. Also a guaranteed way for a diner to alienate customers who are at all sensitive about their weight, a giant telephone dial designed to help unravel the “mysteries” of dialing, a see-saw bed that is supposed to help increase blood circulation, an automatic glove fitting device and a first hand account of a novice blimp driver titled “Anyone can fly a blimp“.

   Funny about the Computer Dating. I was re-watching ‘The Swimmer’ (1968) the other night and the young lass who travels with him for a while says she’s met a boyfriend via computer dating.
