Explore AIOld tech. New questions.
Technology has changed. The curiosity hasn’t.
From 8-bit computers to artificial intelligence, Geeks Have Landed explores the technology that got us here — and where we’re going next.
The continuing story / THEN → NOW → NEXT
The past is a good place to start asking what’s next.
Technology stories don’t end when an article is published. We’re returning to the archive to ask three questions: what did it promise, what became of it, and what might follow?
01 / Then
What started it?
The original idea, the excitement around it and the world it arrived in.
02 / Now
What became of it?
What endured, what changed and what we can see more clearly with hindsight.
03 / Next
Where could it lead?
The possibilities still worth exploring, with questions kept separate from predictions.
Our starting point is the original archive article. New THEN → NOW → NEXT revisits are forthcoming.

The person behind the curiosity
Hello, I’m Rob.
Geeks Have Landed brings together my interest in technology, old and new: the machines that sparked our imagination and the ideas that keep us asking questions.
This is a place to explore, remember and look ahead. Whether you’re here for an old computer or a new possibility, there’s always another story to follow.
