The Original Upgrade

Share the tech that changed your campus experience forever.

In 1969, computers were huge, and so were our expectations for them. This room-sized machine looked like something out of NASA and felt like the future landing right on campus.

What tech first blew your mind at Monmouth? The word processor that spelled the end of your typewriter? The floppy disks that made punch cards feel prehistoric? The Wi-Fi that turned Shadow Lawn into a study space?

Share the future as you first experienced it, and if you’ve got a photo to go with the memory, even better. Email us at magazine@monmouth.edu or write to Monmouth Magazine, 400 Cedar Ave., West Long Branch, NJ 07764.
