Did you have a twin tub? It was the miracle of 1960s washing machine technology that literally shook the kitchen!

Let's take a look at it...

The twin tub bridged the gap between the mangle washers of the 1950s and the front loaders of the 1970s. Finally the days of cranking washing between two rollers to wring it out were long gone!

A twin tub is just that: a washing machine with two upright tubs - one for washing, one for spinning. Genius!

If stock photography has taught us one thing it's how to recognise a hacker! But how much do we really know about these shady characters, with their ill-fitting balaclavas and their Windows 7 laptops?

Here's my essential stock photography guide to #cybersecurity...

First things first, hacking has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years. Backing up your sensitive data on C60 cassette and labelling it "Flock of Seagulls Megamix' is no longer enough to keep your information safe!

And hackers are actually very hard to spot. That's because they dress head-to-toe in black (or very very very dark grey) since they live on the Dark Web and want to blend into the background.

In the late 1950s Arthur Radebaugh produced a US Sunday newspaper comic strip called 'Closer Than We Think!' It tried to anticipate the way we would live in the future, based on current trends and ideas in science.

As it's now the future let's see how he did...

Automic automobiles: thankfully not a thing! The Ford Nucleon concept car was designed in 1957, but never went beyond the model making stage. It would have used a steam engine powered by a small nuclear reactor in the boot.

Robot warehouses: this is most definitely a thing now. Ocado's robot warehouse in Hampshire caught fire in February 2019: fire fighters had to dodge the still-running robots to put the blaze out!

Today in pulp, one of the most influential and outrageous illustrators of the Italian Italian fumetti scene: Emanuele Taglietti!

This will be interesting...

Emanuele Taglietti was born in Ferrara in 1943. His father worked as a set designer for director Michaelangelo Antonioni, often taking Emanuele with him on set.

In the 1960s Taglietti moved to Rome, where he studied stage design. He began a successful career as an assistant art director, working for Federico Fellini and Marco Ferreri.
