About
Educational film explaining digital and analog computers to a lay audience, expressing the state of computing technology in the mid-1950s with a focus on mainframe machines. Introducing computing as an outgrowth of mathematical calculation together with information systems and data processing systems, the film goes on to explain the operational principles of both digital and analog machines and roles they play in technological environments including banking, finance, aviation and aerospace, and music. Contributing to the culture of masculinization of computer programming, all programmers depicted in the film are male even though programming at the time had a substantial history and significant proportion of women in the field.
