P R O G R A M
-----------------------------------
Electronic Computers and Applied Mathematics
Early 1960's
From pebbles on the ground to the mighty RCA 501, the story of counting and
counting machines. An orgy of obsolete technology.
Mathematical Peep Show
1961
Charles and Ray Eames
Five 2-minute films on mathematical topics produced for IBM corporation.
Very stylish, although it's hard to tell what the target age group might
have been.
Shortchanged!
1960s
Evil shortchange artists are fanning across America victimizing unsuspecting
cashiers. Learn how their tricks work so YOUR till isn't short at the end
of the day.
What is Automation?
1965
Assembly line and computer porn. In the future, factories will have almost
no employees. The rest of us will be on permanent vacation.
