Hard to believe this audacious piece of tech turns 40 this year
For those who may not know, this unassuming data bank was the pinnacle of engineering back in its time. Casio wanted to show the world what it could do, so they released a calculator/data bank without a keypad. To use it you actually wrote the characters on the screen with your finger to perform calculations or enter data into the phone book. It is to my knowledge the only pre-smartwatch era wristwatch with a touch screen capable of reading your handwriting. Not bad for 1984 technology.

Quartz crisis gang. Grew up in the digital era so I've always had an affinity for Casios and the like. Now I consider myself more of a Casio watch historian, cataloging many of their pivotal timepiece...
