1 Terabit is 125 Gigabytes! For 1967, Thats like having a Zettabyte hard drive today! It was a ridiculous amount of storage for 1967!

This guy must have been talking all day. By this point he sounds as if he could do with a sit down and a mug of lemon and honey or camomile tea or something. Still, fascinating stuff. I'm working my way through the whole day.

Wow.... so new to me, I didn't know there are such complex and advanced systems in the 60's.

I think this should be mentioned in history classes.

The guy is talking thru his hoop, a Terabit is about 160 gig, pretty small bear by todays standards, he says in the commentary that it was the year 2000 b4 a system this big was produced, what bollocks

Noob...

@yakacm What he means is, It was 33 years before a single device or hard drive could hold the same amount of data as this. 1 terabit is 125 Gigabytes.

Very interesting. It seems like the realisation of Vannevar Bush's 1945 concept of the 'Memex' with dry film-printing storage.
