fwiw my point was not that 'computer world' and 'computer love' were vaguely about computers as the Future
Fwiw you seem to have incorrectly inferred that I said you said that they were.
but go ahead and attribute a dopey spelling of "computers" to me if it makes you feel better?
Also something you have mistakenly inferred. That's not something I did or would do to "make myself feel better." But go ahead and attack me for no reason.
but that they specifically are dealing with the digital cyber space age.
Computer World is (although it's a vague phrase - maybe you mean in some vague public conception sense.)
But I think what Computer Love actually describes is probably that rather low tech "computer dating", although yes you can argue even that is a bit "cyber" I suppose. Using a telephone is "cyber" so whatevs.
I call this number
For a data date

Neil Peart was another relatively early adopter (1996) with 'Virtuality' from Rush's 'Test For Echo':
'Net boy, net girl
Send your signal 'round the world
Let your fingers walk and talk
And set you free
Net boy, net girl
Send your impulse around the world
Put your message in a modem
And throw it in the Cyber Sea'

Although these are some spectacularly badly written lyrics, they prophesize the internet of today surprisingly well for 1994. No wide-eyed techno utopia for Ray & Anita:
Technology
Virtual Society
Info superhighway interaction
Into the future, into the future
Technology
See the world progressing all around us, it's a virtual society
Info superhighway interaction, computer pal or enemy
So communicate with me
Won't you interact with me?
Technicians, technique, technology
It's the most important thing in the industry
It's going further nowadays, 'cause they want to get paid
Every day new discovery and plans to be made
Now get connected like an electric wire
Look out for the shock, look out for the fire
Just imagine how it would be
Without the thing they call "technology".
Interact with me
Interact with me
Info superhighway
Technicians, technique, technology
It runs the world and society
Digital revolution, technical solutions
For some it only brings more and more confusion
Do we still talk about civilization
'Cause we gotta look out for the computer invasion
Radio, telephone, or TV..
Would it be there without technology?
Into the future
Into the future
Energy from the inner mind
Technology
So communicate with me
Want you interact with me
Info superhighway interaction
Technology
Technology
Technology
