Boy Scouts Catch The Scouting Spirit Lapel Pin

Sold: $4.99 Fees: $0.83 Profit: $4.16

This is an odd button. It is from the Boy Scouts Canadian Jamboree in 1985. It depicts a boy scout on a laptop screen, which might make sense in the early 90's but is quite out of place on a button from 1985. Laptops existed in the early 80's, but they were hardly prevalent. So either this was a reference to a laptop, which would have been very obscure in 1985 (and seemingly unrelated to Scouting), or it is meant to be something else, but for the life of me I cannot figure out what it might be.
