So I came across this youtube video, which is a copy of a old 1960s documentary about a Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment. Its a very detailed narrated video. The video nearly bored me until , I got to approx 15:40 , where they show the computer system that monitors the reactor. The narrator clearly says , " .. high speed digital computer ", I had to stop and laugh for some time. Check out the typewriter and the reel to reel magnetic tape machines. No computer monitors, so I guess a computer controlled type writer was better than nothing.
Imagine if we still were using that technology from the 1960s, today. What kind of video games ..... or would it be typewriter games, would exist?! I guess we would have perfected the pinball machines and one-arm bandits with high speeeeeeeeeeeeeeed digital computer(s). From now on, the next time I see these old videos from the 1960s, and I see these types computers where a narrator says those 4 words, I have to stop the video to laugh.
