"NO,
IT'S
REAL.
I
SAW
IT
ON
THE
INTERNETS!"

The
Internet
and
its
attendant
tools
for
graphic
manipulation
and
immediate
publishing
have
taken
pranks,
misrepresentation,
and
outright
deception
to
levels
we
wouldn't
have
imagined
a
decade
or
two
ago,
and
for
many
of
us
our
skepticism
still
hasn't
caught
up.
Sometimes
it's
malicious,
but
sometimes,
it's
pretty
damned
funny.
The
picture
above
started
making
the
rounds
in
2004,
purported
to
be
from
a
1954
Popular
Mechanics
article
showcasing
what
a
home
computer
might
look
like
in
the
year
2004.
Even
current
Popular
Mechanics'
editors
admitted
to
being
initially
taken
in
by
the
picture--before
a
fruitless
visit
to
the
archives,
that
is,
and
some
follow-up
investigation.
The
picture
was
a
hoax,
created
for
a
"Photoshop
contest"
on
fark.com,
and
quickly
took
on
a
life
of
its
own
on
the
Web.
The
original
photo
was
of
this
old
Navy
submarine
console,
converted
to
black
and
white,
and
with
an
old
teletype
and
Eisenhower-era
TV
and
gentleman
added
for
"authenticity".
