This animated film places the computer in historical perspective and shows how cre...ative people use computers to help define and solve problems. Produced for the IBM exhibit at the Brussels World Fair. With a score by the great Elmer Bernstein, this was quite a fascinating document about computers and their function as adding machines as presented by the IBM exhibit at the 1958 Brussels World's Fair. Not much movement but plenty of fascinating drawings illustrating the use of what were also referred to as calculators. Quite informative about these computers' function as they were then.
Very cool , short Doc on computers - with animation and input from the great John Whitney - an early pioneer of computer animation.
Great film !!
