NOTICING THAT THE 1957 "Tracy/Hepburn" movie, "THE DESK SET", WAS BEING SHOWN ON TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES......

      I THOUGHT,  TODAY,   ABOUT HOW PREDICTIVE THE FILM WAS, WHEN IT WAS FIRST RELEASED......AND WAS, MOMENTS AGO, REFLECTING ON IT'S 'MEANING'.....  I PLAYED SAMMY OGG'S CHARACTER, KENNY,  IN A 'RUN-THROUGH'  PRODUCTION.. WHEN I WAS IN 6TH GRADE AND HAD JUST VIEWED A GIGANTIC  PRE-ANTHROPOMORPHIC "FAIL-SAFE" COMPUTER, RECENTLY ASSEMBLED AT REDSTONE ARSENAL'S 'ARMY MISSLE COMAND CENTER' , IN HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA,  IN THE EARLY 1960'S.....A TECHNOLOGICAL PRECURSER OF 'THE FORBIN PROJECT'S "COLOSSUS" AND, OF COURSE, THE 'HAL 9000'....   TODAY....AN AVERAGE BONEHEAD CARRIES, IN HIS HAND....MORE COMPUTING POWER WITHIN THE CIRCUITRY OF HIS UBIQUITOUS MOBILE PHONE......NEITHER REQUIRING THE INTELLIGENCE NOR THE WIT OF KATHERINE HEPBURN OR EVEN HER OBEISANT ASSISTANT, RUTHIE SAYLOR....{PLAYED, INCIDENTALLY, BY SUE RANDALL....AKA "MISS LANDERS" OF "LEAVE IT TO BEAVER" FAME..... IN HER ONLY MOVIE APPEARANCE......}
