Computer History – A British View – Part 1 of 3

December 11th, 2009 | Author: Some Web User


A British film about computers from 1969. It is presented here as a historical look at how computers used to be in the 1960’s when PC’s and Macs were over 10 years away. Shown in three parts. Sorry, but the 16mm print is rather battered! To my surprise this clip was featured in ‘The Guardian’ newspaper’s Technology supplement on Thursday December 6th 2007.

    In the UK for some reason is is spelt cheque, although it is said as check like the geezer in the film did, although the other kind of check is spelt the same. It does makes more sense to spell it check like in the US. Most of the spelling diffrences between you guys and us revolves around not having u’s like in colour ie color in the States. The reason I was told for the diffrence was the yanks not wanting to spell things the french way which seems a damn good reason. Anyway peace out.

    I wanted a video to get a historical perspective of “computer evolution” in the hope of understanding “computers” better.
    At last I ve got a series of videos that come close to what I was looking for. :)

    Please mind Konrad Zuse’s machine. Afair, he was the first to use binary digits, and float point operations.
