Sorry but Russians were already living in that reality at that time. Especially MIR-2 with light pen and all that shit of 1969. It had the weirdest symbolic programming language with its own character set. http://www.icfcst.kiev.ua/MUSEUM/GL_HALL2/COMPUTERS/MIRS.htm...

Well... At that time some people were witnessing the future as it was invented. The point is that it's now more evenly distributed.

And now we have lowercase.
