The good old days. I still have a stack of punch cards, and still have those tractor fed sheets of green/white paper. The dot matrix no longer works, though. Still have my first optical mouse from the early 80's. Three buttons, red LED, and came with a reflective mouse pad with black and blue grid lines.

All that would make for a nice little render. Old computer stuff, terminals, 8" disks and punch cards. In fact I have played with the thought of doing a render for the challenge from an old memory of visiting my father's work place.... 

In one of the tallest buildings in New Orleans, down in the lobby, there was a large computer room with an IBM mainframe. They looked like tall blue boxes. This was one of IBM's largest ones too. There were large hard drives there, green-screen terminal stations, and tech ppl walked around in white lab coats. All this was separated by smoked glass from the lobby. Companies back then were proud to show how computer savvy they were--"look what we have."

Contrast this to now days where the computer room is hidden behind a combination locked door and other security, deep within the building.

It wouldn't be a bad render because it does make an artistic social statement of the change of times and ppl's attitudes. It fires up old memories and gets ppl nostalgic.
