Errors in this movie. IBM 5150 had Intel 8088 4,77 MHz, NOT 55 MHz.

@voraciousbear Duh about electricity. Persians had 4-6V cells made from copper tubes and lemon juice for ? so...
And the punch cards for looms worked on holes that automatic looms used to stitch "preprogrammed" patterns.
Organs used rolls of paper with holes to play preprogrammed music. Like the Harpsicord. IBM copied the idea in our time. The cards for looms back then looked identical to modern punch cards.

I think the title is misleading it misses most of the key people in the computer industry and the real computer innovations most of which were in Great Britain. it fails to mention any of the British computing key people. Charles Babbage who introduced the concept of the programmable computer in the 1800s. The wartime brilliant people at Bletchley Park and most of all LEO 1 - the World's first commercial computer (operational 17 November 1951) and the brilliant people at J Lyons that built it.
