From 1954 Popular Mechanics:

"Scientists from the RAND Corporation have created this
model to illustrate how a "home computer" could look like in the year 2004.
However the needed technology will not be economically feasible for the
average home. Also the scientists readily admit that the computer will
require not yet invented technology to actually work, but 10 years from now
scientific progress is expected to solve these problems. With teletype
interface and the Fortran language, the computer will be easy to use."
