How was Marty a technology early adopter?

Michael Waldman
Liz and I had our first date with Marty on a visit to an IBM showroom to buy our first-ever PC's in January 1985.
Steven Waldman
Dad was always ahead of the times with communication technology -- the Wallensack tape player, the most cutting edge Selectric and even a home copying machine.
Gordon Waldman
I may not have seen his initial adoption of early technology, but I have seen his continued acceptance and interest in the newest gadgets. While some people his age may jump back in fright at the sound of Siri's voice, Popop is always willing to explore and learn.
Michael Waldman
Also the high tech memorialization of the Moon landing: He set up a tripod in the family room and took photos off the TV screen.
Robert Waldman
Martin was also the first family member to have a fax machine, which he let me use to send a writing sample to L.A. A few hours later, I got the good news that I would be the writer of the Grand Opening of EuroDisney. Thank you,
Martin!
