And to think back then, when us humans made the 1st cutting tools and 'invented(Lolz)' fire. There was a period of time for 1000000 years in which we did not advance in tech at all.

mm...108 years ago we were dreaming of flying, we didnt even know or think about what a 'computer' could be. And in 108 years. Were making small ships with more power than an entire room sized computer could ever do back in the 40's, 50's, 60's....20th century is the best century in all of history.

Uh, actually it's because there are some people who refuse to learn on their own and need little cartoons, witty Jeff Goldblum commercials, and hipster emo fags to get them to "feel" "comfortable" enough to touch a computer. What you mean to say is, "Wow, leave it to lazy whiny losers to need coddling, babying, and dumbing down of technology to do the simplest things."

I also like all the philosophizing about computers roles versus humans. I wish the computer industry embraced that concept more today, instead of the rampant techno-obsession we have instead. The music was good too.

I enjoyed this video, as a video from a company with a very different attitude towards computing that say Google. This was probably just a run of the mill educational video back in the day, but now it has a charm and philosophy that is rare today.

The "Dr. Evil" voice-over is a nice touch.

Wow, leave it to IBM to make the subject of computers slow moving and dull. No wonder so many people were afraid of and bored by computers back then. The film on YT "computer History--a British View" was done about the same time but more interesting.

Thanks. We do need to be reminded just how far we have advanced in the technology world in the last 50 years. With advanced PCs, we take for granted what is really going on in that 'box' sitting next to our monitor. |
