  • @fragglet If you watch History Channel's "The Universe" series, you' ll understand what I mean. It's full of explosions :-)

  • @hrbear "Today they add many bells, whistles, and ka-booms"

    Ironically I read your comment just as the video reached 6:00 where it shows missiles being launched :-)

  • @Dessimat0r Exactly. I also like very much this kind of documentaries. Today they add many bells, whistles, and ka-booms to make them more attractive, but I still prefer these old, classic, meaningful documentaries.

  • I've never seen anything so succinct and so educational. They don't make them like this anymore.

  • THANK YOU so much for uploadign this great document.

    if you have some more,...thanks.

  • Kind of spooky watching this. I was born the year this documentary was made. It's ancient now. I'm sooo last century lol.

  • We were just talking in one of my classes about how important this documentary was in inspiring the UK government to think seriously about computers and investing in tech. Didn't think I'd be able to find it but here it is. Thanks!

  • about 250000 transistors on one chip in 1977... we're in the billions for nearly the same chip area today...
