I like the examples given and think the premise for the article is brilliant, but would kindly beg to differ-- most of those examples were in fact digital computer displays, because in the 1980s, the it was understood widely that the future looked digital. (Don’t get me started about bad digital car dashboard read-outs and indicators.)
Analog would be non-computer-logic-type readouts, e.g.: gauges, not digits, and other fixed-function displays, excepting a few specialty subtypes, like flipbook readouts. Think electric steampunk, or a 1950s reactor control panel, and you’re closer than most of these examples to ‘analog panel.’
