At work, some of my predecessors actually made the demografic projections using a computer, using a printer as a the monitor. Computers like this was used in DK in the late seventies and early eighties. It wasn't rally a home computer - more like a terminal connected to a mainframe at a central data-facility.
Until 1990 I too made the projections using a terminal, but now with a monitor screen. Since then we have udsed what we now know as a PC. I wonder what the next version may look like - a cell phone perhaps - or a wrist watch - or pehaps a fluid in a bottle ??? By the way. My first PC was 60 MB harddrive at a retail price of 6000 USD! And it's really not that long time ago :-) This money would buy me 10 or 20 PC's with 80 GB harddrives and 3 GH processors.
