Detailed descriptions & diagrams of computing “input, store, control, arithmetic, output”, etc. Machine peripherals shown briefly. Film quality starts poor, but gets better towards the end. Nice description of “core memory” at 10:20 mins into the film. - Watch with a cold drink and some tasty snacks and enjoy this classic educational treat.Show more
