i have IBM and it's the best computer EVER!!!

[greg119w]

MareNostrum, once the fastest supercomputer in Europe in Barcelona, is featured at 11:30. I was the architect and led the team that built that in 10 months in a university chapel. Only at IBM! Congratulations on 100 years. Excellent video. Hello to John Cohn at 12:02.

[creativeengineer]

IBM was once a great company founded by Thomas J Watson, and it placed the utmost importance on their most valuable resource - their employees. Louis B. Gerstner placed the most emphasis on the shareholder (and therefore his own pocket), fired over 100,000 employees, removed the Five Basic Beliefs, and in turned destroyed the once great company.

[kjeksomanen]

@creativeengineer this isn't the whole story; IBM was said to go bankrupt if they didn't change tactic and continued doing what they had done for almost 100 years. Truly a sad turn of events, but Gerstner probably saved the company from being nothing to still being a huge company doing quite well.

[rwylie77]

@kjeksomanen - a big company doing quite well? I think doing superbly when you look at their growth and stock price over the last few years!

[creativeengineer]

Too bad the once great company was destroyed by Louis B. Gerstner.

[j0nnyism]

ibm doesnt have the guts to admit its failings along with its successes and contributions to humanity

[j0nnyism]

if big blue is going to celevrate its history it should mention its profitable relationship with the nazis and its useof tabulating machine in the efficient genocide of jews gypsies gays and mentally ill people

[bsuenaga1]

Who was the HACK editor on this? I wouldn't let this guy cut my wedding video.

[Xepa777]

What's the music at the very very end of the video?

[JamesNeophytou]

@Xepa777 The music at the end is by the composer Philip Glass, and is called Runaway Horses, from his Mishima soundtrack.

[sersarsor]

so proud to say that my dad worked for IBM for 14 years, and was one of the first 40 IT employees in Beijing

[PhiloAmericana]

Thank you, IBM. I have perspective enough to know what good you did for the world.

[PhiloAmericana]

You can mention Nazi Germany all day long, but that does not erase their achievements. Notice, I don't see all this nonsense on German videos.

[ScorpiaX]

What's the catchy music with climax at 6:30ish called?

[tombridge]

@ScorpiaX If you mean the brief soprano duet at the moment the year 1969 flashes up, its the Benedictus from Mozart's Requiem.

[randmblank]

@ScorpiaX That piece was commissioned for the film. Jay Lifton from Pulse Music in NYC composed it. Rich DeCicco was the musician.

[toobrdr]

All IBMers in this (except the babies of course) Go Big Blue!

[ultimateHaru]

TuT I like this era

[aaaleksandriaaa]

[myt3ryx]

As a former IBMer - I say GO IBM !!!!

[LsBaba]

At 01:18 into the video:

In 1915, the best man for the job of President is Thomas J Watson.

(1916) Mr Watson believed that "all of the problems of the World could be settled easily if people (men) were only willing to think".

How true.

[Seth62392]

Good Lord! I don't believe this... Every person of every age group, from centenarians to babies, seems to be aware of an IBM achievement that occurred on his or her year of birth!!! My, my, what a walk it has been for IBM! Nobody of ANY age group is capable of believing how much the company has gone through. Iconic inventions, significant innovations... But I'm sure that IBM's history is not even finished! It will surely continue until all has been observed, and reasoned, and given thought.

[Junglist1996]

this video is so cool i'm thinking about working for ibm :P

[mariekitu]

Well it is sad to see that 4675 people failed to think.

[jroc3466]

so worth watching!

[wwf20082]

Great Video !

[DameonLaeheartxx]

What;s the piece playing in the background at 7:10?

[gbb301]

19. The rise of fascism has links to corporate power. American corporations played a role in Nazi Germany and the holocaust, such as IBM's punchcard machines that tabulated the victims' data. Corporate allegiance to profit trumps their allegiance to nationalism.

[gbb301]

check out "THE CORPORATION [19/23] Taking The Right Side" here on youtube

[zaxus211]

will they make a film about ibm and the holocaust?

[gk24123]

I worked with IBM and I m going back to IBM next week, place where Interesting Brains Meet (IBM).

I want to buy an IBM product!



[doggypuncher]

GO IBM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[momus9898]

In 2111, IBM invents... (Defeat of Nazi Germany is 166 years previous)

Those of you that bring up the Nazis, I refer you to the Romans, the Goths, the Huns. IBM may or may not have known what was done with its equipment that it may or may not have had control over. Fair enough.

But siege warfare on the grand scale killed far more people than any one company could ever have. The future is innovation, the future is technology. At what point do we consider its contribution & reward its legacy?

[portraitpixels]

Wow! It's the only company I've worked for where I often say, I'm proud to have worked there. Amazing video. To answer some of the comments below, there are hundreds of examples of companies and people who initially saw Adolf Hitler as the solution to all Germany's woes. I know I can say, with my hand on my heart, they would not have sold that solution with the knowledge of what it would have been employed to do. Frankly, who would?

[gbudi101]

Inspiring. Well told

[Alealejandro2011]

Just cool, IBM :D :D :D

[ejortiz17]

A tear rolled down my eye...to believe how much the world has changed for the better thanks to this company.

[treed86]

Hey IBM you forgot to mention this...1933...IBM begins an alliance with NAZI Germany and sells punch card machines to Hitler which allowed him to round up and exterminate many more people than he would have been able to otherwise and which also helped the NAZIs with railroads and supply lines, etc. to hurt our boys we sent over to fight them. I would figure that is definitely a "world changing" moment...and @LithuanianLabas...it's called treason. That's why we give a crap you heathen.

[solton1963]

nice video

[AnitaCock]

WOW! "IBM & THE HOLOCAUST" is a popular subject of videos! It's AMAZING how many videos there are, on the subject of "IBM & THE HOLOCAUST"! Without IBM machines, HITLER COULDN'T OF WIPED OUT 6 MILLION VICTIMS!!!!!

[LithuanianLabas]

@AnitaCock

Who gives a crap about the holocaust. The only people who fret about that are jews and liberals.

[giong]

touching~!!

[antinomy777]

Had an IBMer who retired and became a Computer Instructor. He had an incredible amount of knowledge and IBM history trivia. Wish this could have also incorporated all the screw ups and bad decisions made by IBM, they allowed many opportunities to escape them!!!

[andrewcnzz]

This Film Forgot to Mention IBM and the Holocaust

[electricbuilder]

IBM made the punch card system and it started to be used in industry in 1920 so it could be used a couple of decades later to process the jews in concentration camps? Damn good early planning! Did you hear that most of the worlds problems could be resolved if people would think? Some of you people amaze me.

[SkyHighUSTREAM]

@electricbuilder They made the technology. They have no control over how it is used. Apple makes computers, but are they responsible if one of their consumers decided to use his mac to steal identities or credit card numbers. Some people like to only look at the negatives, and those people are the ones who seem to really disappoint me.

[schok51]

@91musicmaster He did not say "The human race",he said "the world".I think it meant that the world was to become more organised,more connected,more concious of the information and the way to use it.

[FcoBV]

IBM Amazing Company!!

[USAFFountain]

IBM made the punch card system to process Jews in concentration camps. I guess they wanted to leave that little detail out of this video.

[schok51]

@USAFFountain It sure isn't good publicity,but if it wouldn't have been IBM machines,it would've been others companies machine.

The letter at 0:52 reads:

"May 1912

Dear Dr. Clarke, -

To the best of my knowledge "lazybones" has not appeared anywhere; but to make still sure my wife went through all the old papers having reference to my short fiction and found no record of it.

I might say that april 14, I had a stroke and am paralyzed on my right side though perfectly clear mentally.

Yours very sincerely,

F.P. Grove

I'm rating this video thumbs down because IBM tries to show themselves as the inventor of personal computer and Linux. I wonder how many other claims in this video are unreal...

[scatcatpdx]

happy birthday

[viralarchitect]

I'm a new employee and I can say safely that "THINK" is a perfect slogan for IBM. It shows that the employees are not drones but innovators who solve real world problems. With this kind of history, IBM has an advantage over newer systems because their methods are tried and true. Maybe we won't last the next 100 years, but we practically invented the first 100 years. I hope IBM will always be remembered for that.

[avatarxone]

AMAZING!

[MrJest2]

I'm an "IBM Brat"... my dad worked for IBM almost all his life. I was raised using the backside of IBM print-outs as scratch paper for my homework. I even inadvertently worked for IBM when the company I was working for in the late '90s got bought by IBM (almost crashed the car when the news announced it during my commute; we worker-bees had no idea this was even in the air at the time). And, as a rational human being, I can't help but be impacted by the simple and pure IBM slogan: THINK.

[tristangys]

Doesn't say that IBM founder Thomas Watson visited Nazi Germany in 1933, established punch card technology in Germany to assist the Reich in several aspects such as assiting in producing its well oiled and unfathomably efficient Jew killing machine, raking in record profits despite being fully aware of what his Hollerith systems were being used for. Two sides to this coin...

[TheSpongion]

when the pregnant lady showed up at the end, i was expecting her fetus to say the next "did you know" fact about IBM..
