Ten-year-old Paul Hamon sits at a blue Computer 2 terminal, smiling at the camera, while his seven-year-old brother Mark Hamon stands behind him at an Electricity Trust of South Australia (ETSA) display in Adelaide, around August 1982 (a good candidate for the Royal Adelaide Show). A yellow booklet titled “60 ways to save Electricity at Home” is visible on the desk. Paul already had a strong interest in computers at this age. Photograph by Howard Hamon. The original print has been cleaned, colour-corrected and upscaled with generative AI while preserving the original expressions and period details.
